Any day now, I expect to be getting my new maple syrup evaporator. Yup, I'm done boiling sap in stainless pans over concrete blocks for hours on end, running back and forth from the trees to the fire, then running from the fire to the house to do the "finishing", then running back out to the fire to add more sap and stir and take the foam off the top of the boiling sap…and all of this running around, just to get a 2 quarts of syrup by the end of the season.

We love the area we work in, and residents who have lived in Central New Hampshire a long time look forward to winter all year long. The Squam Lake and Lake Winnipesaukee real estate offerings are ideal for families, from cozy New England cottage-style homes to private waterfront estates and many options in between. But while we love our homes and the relaxed pace, we love the area's rugged natural beauty to enjoy the winter fun that the area is known for. Here are 4 activities to enjoy with your family.

In Littleton, we kicked off the Thanksgiving season with a food collection, and collected numerous boxes of food that were delivered to the Littleton Food Pantry.
On October 12th, Aaron Woods, Debbie James, Deb Engelhardt, Karen Walsh and myself, enjoyed a wonderful, educational boat tour around Squam Lake.
