Sugering

DON'T FORGET EARTH HOUR SATURDAY NIGHT!
8-9PM Eastern!!!

Here are the girls. We had a 4" March snow storm yesterday. What a wet mess!






Elise & Simon had sap running out of their ears. Well, their trees! They gave us 40 gallons of sap and their sap rig. Here Gretchen is - sugerin'. NOT something I ever even dreamed of trying. We'll let you know how it comes out.

For now - this will be a SHORT post. I have to get back to hauling firewood to keep the fire nice and HOT - slowly adding the sap - and waiting for that sweet sweet result. The 40 gallons SHOULD result in a WHOLE GALLON of syrup. Will take most of today - and maybe some of tomorrow. Let's just say the side bonus is a lot of that icky scrap wood and pine laying around - will be GONE when this is done. The 3 year old pile of scrap lumber from construction - GONE! Maybe even that 11' tall christmas tree ditched there between the sap rig and the woodshed!!
THANKS SIMON & ELISE - youngin's too!
