I was just up to our local maple syrup farm 2 sundays ago and I took my 7 year old grandson .... It was the most enjoyable day for both of us and I did buy 5 containers of syrup ....Good job !!! Keep up your good work
mmmm ... i can smell that sweet sweet smell of the maple syrup boiling down ... yummy! good for you ~ it looks like you got quite a batch! we have a few maple trees in our bush. my husband bought a few spouts and my dad gathered a bit of sap ... i was enthralled at the process, but even more taken with how much liquid it takes, as well as time, to cook down to a syrup! it was a number of years ago we tried and something i maybe will try again some day ... : ) thanks so much for your lovely comments at the i.studio today ... hugs to you ~ prairiegirl
I bet it smells glorious! A friend out east sends us fresh maple syrup every year. It's sweet, smooth taste is oh so heavenly. A joy to visit your wonderful blog!

Boiling the sap
Reducing the sap..
