Spent the day in the woods today with my sweetie hanging mainline and lateral tubing (I think those are the right words) to gather sap. It will be my first try at "sugaring", although Sam has done it before, just not recently. It's going slower than we thought, but the terrain is very rocky, lots of downed limbs, etc. once we get off his logging road, and neither of us are as young as we used to be! Anyway - hopefully we'll have some maple syrup in a few weeks. Thank you Syd for all the tubing and taps you gave us - they sure are coming in handy!
Nobody ever listens to me!! THat's funny that you should mention that! I'm so glad I could inspire you. These are great photos. Wish we could see you guys more. We really have to come down soon. Syd was happy to share the tubing & taps. I'll have him read this post, for sure.
ReplyDeleteIt's so good seeing you on the blogs. Hi to Sam!
Sam says hi back - he was here for dinner tonight. I'm busy scrubbing buckets for the trees that aren't practical to run pipeline to and are close to the logging road so he can just collect from them as he goes by. Wish we could see you more too - you know you're welcome here any time!
