Sap is flowing!

And we have seven of our taps in the trees as of 1 PM today - yay, that means spring really isn't far off!  We really enjoy having the maple syruping season to look forward to, that somewhat inbetween winter and spring, snow and mud, cold and cool.  We'll get the rest of the taps (I think we only have 25 total) in tomorrow and hope for cold nights and warm days this week to get the sap really going.  Perhaps by this next weekend we'll start up the fire and begin boiling it down.  And not a moment too soon; I think we only have a pint left from last year's syrup and we sure wouldn't want to have to go buy any from a store!

Do we have sap???



Mmmmm...spring tonic!
Here's to a great 2011 season!!!
