We finished tapping today. Our total this year is 935. Last year we did 480, so this is a jump. An increase we are all looking forward to…well at least I am 😮
My grandson and granddaughter came today with my son and daughter-in-law. We finished the last few trees we had to do. It took quite a while to finish those last trees. We answered lots of questions, chased mittens and hats and made a whole bunch of memories.
The children think it should taste like maple syrup right out of the tap. They waited for drops on their tongues. My grandson thought he could suck it out of the tree. He tried anyway, but soon learned patience or perhaps just got tired of waiting.
Now we wait for the weather. This weekend looks promising for a run on Monday. We are almost ready, so here we go!
