Time again for one of my favorite rituals of life, sitting in the sugar house with Scott Carrino at Pompanuck Farm. We had a moment of silence in memory of Paul Moshimer, who sat with us last year, a few months before his death.  We celebrated his life and his presence in our lives, brief as it was.

Scott loves his time in the sugar house at Pompanuck, the sap was running yesterday during the 50 degree temperatures, there is something special about sitting in that place with a good friend and Red (I didn’t dare bring Fate) and just having time to talk. Scott built the sugar house, it is a warm and inviting Rube Goldberg kind of place. Back there later in the week.
