Silently the maple sap runs......

Gathering the buckets of sap.....
It's getting towards the end of the season......

...not quite as many buckets as earlier.

The guys are a little bummed...they want a "Gator" (so sad).

Picking up some firewood on the way to the wood shed.

Step two boiling the sap down on the evaporator....

.....the evaporator (believe it or not) they think it could be used for a washing machine in the off season.

...the final fire.....making syrup.

...and more buckets await.

...and we have enjoyed just a few of the delicious bene's so far...candied nuts, maple sugar cookies and  french toast and syrup...next weekend we are trying Pork Loin w/ you guessed it..maple syrup.
