Well, the end of ski season is approaching... how do we know? Well, the sap is starting to run. And seeing as we live in the middle of the woods, I figured Michael and I would have some fun making maple syrup this year. I have 30 spiles, and am working on rounding up jugs to capture the sap. I did spring for 10 used buckets and covers, which I used the other day. I made my first round to the buckets last night to gather sap and poured about 2 gallons into a storage jug. The plan is to get a fire going in the stone stove out on the patio and boil the sap down out there when we're not snowboarding. Hoping to have lots of mapley goodness very soon!
