Hello out there in Blogland.

Today we shovelled out from the latest snowstorm and then I went up to the maple sugarhouse to show some friends how to do tubing.

We snowshoed to the top of the lot and back and got to see some of the tubing we have already installed. We plugged one more tree into the system and called it a day.

Earlier this week I had a visit from a young man who is looking for a "doomstead". He is a peak oil person and wants to find a place to be before the problems begin. He has a great blog named Doomstead Diary that you might want to check out.

We were looking up the definition of Doomstead and came upon a very interesting one. It was the name of the horse used by the Fates, or Narns in Scandinavian mythology. The Narns wove fate with their looms.

I think that that may be an appropriate name for a doomstead. It's the horse that we ride with the fates into the future.
