ha! thanks Kristen! I've been cracking myself up since yesterday over it.. hee hee hee hee
Anon - i hope not! last year we totally missed the window of opportunity. so we might be a little early - but next week it will be in the 40*s during the day and below freezing at nite. so we are jumping on the chance.
Wow, real maple syrup from a tree and not from a bottle. It was only yesterday that I discovered the delights of maple syrup, which is likely to become a serious addiction if I am not careful! Lovely stuff. Must try to remember to water the little maple tree this year, which is all of about knee high, so a long way to go before we can have our own maple syrup. Hope you get loads of it!
this is really novel for me, we don't have maple trees here in Australia (or snow) and I have no idea how to make maple syrup, I love seeing the pics and learning more :) Your farm activities are the same but different, that's what makes them so interesting.
isnt it amazing, FLiz? if you havent had real maple syrup - you've got to try it. its totally different then the Mrs. Butterworth's kind of stuff they sell on the cheap.
Best blog post title I saw today! Happy Friday to you. :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it too early?!
