Maple Syrup TIme

 Sunday we gathered around daughter and son in law's fire where they were boiling sugar maple sap they'd collected last week and will continue to collect this week.

We brought some leftover key lime pie to share and I used the sap to make myself some tea - a bit too sweet.

Later that day some of thier friends stopped by with kids and the gathering continued while the kids played.

A great Sunday afternoon in early Spring.

Below and above Emily is skimming off the froth.  As the sap boils down they keep adding more from those orange buckets.
