Favourite Place

As you enter the bush to the sugar shack you cross a small spring fed creek descending from one of the many springs emerging along the escarpment. In earlier times, someone has put in a culvert so a tractor can easily cross the creek. The creek never freezes or goes dry, so no matter the time of year, it 'burbles' as it slowly drops over the mixture of granite ('fieldstone') and limestone rocks. It is beautiful to stand on the bridge and listen to the 'burble' and enjoy the view. We have several pictures from that exact spot every year. I just can't NOT take a picture! Once the clean up of the maple syrup equipment is finished, the creek bed is yellow as it is filled with marsh marigolds. Along with the dog-toothed violets, these are the earliest flowers we get to enjoy.
