January Thaw

With the prospect of some warmer weather I tapped my first ever January tap (27th)

Several full days of tapping

Digging out 

and gathering sap

Time to light up the new stove

It didn't take long to get it to a full boil

The hazards of boiling out in maples

racoons ?

maple sap pour over

ramen

Susie's scones

Ryan and Jack came down for a visit

John

Susie

And Jace
