27 February

So we did it, we decided to tap two trees in our backyard.  Not because we are going to make lots of maple syrup to last us throughout the year (if we even get one drop), but because it will be fun for the kids to learn the process, and fun to have a day long fire outside to boil it all away:).  Because life is all about the process (and learning) and so far it's just pretty cute to watch them head outdoors every few hours to check their buckets.  It's like magic I tell you, Like magic.
