it's taken 3 years of dedicated work, but fierce achieved his goal this month:
chief scout

scout tree planting

heard today*

*but heard second hand

after fierce sent auntie adele a five paragraph letter (for an IEW writing assignment), she saw him at easter...

auntie adele:
   oh fierce, your letter was just wonderful!
 I do intend to write back, but I haven't had time yet.

fierce (alarmed):
   i'm not looking for a pen pal

easter

we're lucky to have great neighbors just down the street -

sirop tiré

 ok,
a google search tells me this is actually called 'tire sure la neige'

but i swear, growing up in montreal, we called it sirop tiré

anyhow,
we tapped our maple tree out back (again)
but this year for some reason
(low rain? ridiculously cold winter?)
we got a massive amount of syrup out of it.

so much,
we boiled it even further to make our own sirop tiré

our biggest problem was gathering enough snow to spread it on!!!
