Tree Tappin'

It's that time.  At least I'm hopeful it's that time that the days will be warmer.  Some days it does't seem like it. We tapped our trees and have gotten some sap.  At our other house, there were oodles of maple trees. Not as many here. We certainly won't get our needs met with this few maples, but the experience is worth it.

So here you have it, tapping 2014.

Supplies.

Thankful for this that I bought at an estate sale this summer.

My 3 1/2 year old farmer most serious about...well...farming. And my 20 month old doing her own thing, paling around with the dog. These pictures sum up their personalities perfectly.

Since I was in charge of her, all pictures from this point forward are because I was following her.

Which is quite fine, as I had fun capturing the mutual love between her and her pup.

Nevertheless, the trees are tapped.

The sap is running slowly thus far, but we have boiled enough down to have a sample. Mmm...Good!
