Sweet times

We are back in the sugar shack again!  We started tapping the trees last week, and started up the old evaporator this afternoon!!  It is smelling sweet around here now!!  I thought you might like to see some pictures of us getting it going today!  If it weren't so windy out I would have gotten pictures of the girls gathering the sap today.  I guess they will have to be in another post!

our wood supply for this years season~
