Waiting for the sugaring season!
After a hard day of tapping trees.
Sugaring days are warm and sunny!
Our rig is a barrel stove with a stainless steal pan that sits on top.
We have 42 buckets on taps and we store sap in two large containers.
Jim minding our first boil.
After dark the stove is a warm place to hang out.
Digging out the ashes before we get started again.
Half boiled sap - it's getting sweet!
Washing out a big container for holding sap.
Checking the buckets every day.
Using the horse and sleigh to collect sap.
Last chance for sleigh rides on snow!
Scooping out the floaters.
