Boiling Quarters

I spent the whole week end in the sugar house, maple trees have been relentless this past week. We have ~5 gallons of syrup canned so far with at least 3 more coming. The smells are incredible in the Spring, Winter makes you forget that the world has any smell at all. Wet soil hits the hardest after a long Winter, and it’s quickly followed by pine smoke and sweet sap.

The Season is Done

Very smooth throughout. I’m not even sure how much we got, 10 gallons? More than enough for us and copious gifting. All we need to do is clean it all up now.
