FFF Nature Friday - Dirty Spring

 Thanks to Aunty-Yam for hosting FFF and to Rosy for hosting nature Friday!


In the time of in-between,

spring has lost winters glean,

snow is black and paws are muddy

we all think it is very cruddy!


Now our adventure:

Last weekend we walked over to Callie's house


Hi Callie!

To check out their very fancy sugar shack!


It wasn't running yet, but should be starting this weekend so we will go over to see it. While we were there, they had put 180 taps into the trees behind our house. These taps, run down tubes to big barrels. The barrels will be brought to the shack where the magic will happen. We hope to be able to share more really soon1

  7. Muddy snow (and mud) is no fun. We can't wait to learn more about the maple sugar operation. Will you get some made from your own trees?

  12. Yup, the season of mud is upon us which is simultaneously going on during spring. Sigh. Can't wait to hear more about 'the magic.'
