The Sap is Flowing!
March 29, 2008
Actually, it’s been flowing for a while now. We’re about ready to pull our taps from the two sugar maples in our yard because quite honestly we’re just tuckered out. Days and nights of boiling sap have filled our pantry with 2 gallons of syrup. That’s a lot of sap! Precisely, 640 gallons to be exact. We had to finally switch from our usual method of boiling on an outside propane burner (was getting a wee bit expensive) and switched to an open fire which proved to be easier than we thought and may end up being our method of choice for future seasons. Needless to say, this has been a banner season. Hopefully, this saves some local farms who struggled through last year’s tough season. Sweet stuff!

Wow, Susan! I didn’t know you were a sap saver. That’s awesome! And it’s good to see you with a new blog post. I actually follow the Virtual Travel boys now since first seeing it on your blog a few weeks ago. Amazing photographs…
Hi Sue,
I think you need to update your blog. I do love this one, but how about a spring photo?
