Gearing up for the end
First of all let me apologize for not posting anything sooner. Our first year was so busy I barely had time to blink.
This was an old post that I wrote and just did not publish. I am putting together some videos of this season right now as things have slowed down a bit.
One thing that I can not believe is that it has totally snowed like crazy last night and the temperatures are back down to -5˚ or so. It was only a few days ago when it was like 20˚ out. Now it is winter again.
I thought I would put up this old post because it seems to be fitting again.
We were in short sleave shirts only two days ago and now.
Gearing up for the weekend
Well it looks like the year is coming to a close. Lots of people are saying that this is going to be the last really big weekend and than it’s are all over. It’s going to be great, I can’t wait to get up there.
Lot of stuff has to be done before than. I have to do a little bit a shopping to find some cleaning supplies and industrial storage containers for concentrate. I am also getting the computer system for the sugar-shack prepared which is going to be a feat on it’s own, of course we are going to get a mac.
I really wish that I had more time up north, I had panned on taking some time in late April but because of the early start this year it will probably not last past the April 12. Than again who knows what the trees are going to do.
I had a great idea last night about getting a giant snow making machine an blast the whole sugar bush with a nice blanket of snow to keep the season going. I am sure the trees would be really screwed up if I did something like that.
I’ll leave you with a great picture of Mike and I finishing our very first batch of maple syrup. Enjoy!
