Welcome to A Victorian Year in Ontario

Greetings Ladies and Gentlemen, the year is 1865, Her Majesty Queen Victoria has reigned since 1837 and we are in the midst of a prosperous era. The purpose of this blog is to record the daily round of chores, tasks, trials and triumphs of our household in rural Upper Canada (now known as Ontario). We have embarked on an experiment to live a year as close to the way it was done in 1865 as we possibly can. We will post our remarks and await your comments, suggestions and critiques. So join us as we travel back in time.

You won't belive this ....

I wanted to come on here to tell you that believe it or not the sap is actually running. Ken heard on CBC that the sap was running now, almost a month early,. When he got home today he tapped some of the trees, sure enough they are running . When I arrived home this afternoon from London I was shocked to see the buckets on the trees, then I giggled a bit because of last nights post,,,just thought you might like to know .
