Finally got my trees tapped. It's a little late in the season but I couldn't even get to my trees before today. As it is, I'm exhausted from traipsing through knee deep snow. I'll have to watch for a set of used snow shoes.
The sap is solely for self consumption so we'll see what I get. #maple #sap #syrup #tapping
It's only been twelve days since snow was flying but my maples have quickly gone from gushing to dribbling. I'll be lucky to get a pint of syrup from my sap. But I'm not complaining. It's my syrup from my trees (as much as trees can be someone's, not their own) and I'm grateful for it. #maple #tapping #syrup
