Looking forward to all the shenanigans that go along with boiling sap. I'll try and get some pics this year.

Saturday it’s full bird sugar moon again.
We landed again on it.

I didn’t boil this year, didn’t even set a tap. I did make it though, to the Fresh Air Fund’s 20th Annual Sugar Maple Celebration at Sharpe Reservation.

Always a nice time there with demonstrations, vendors and of course, tastings. It seems to get a little bigger each year. Sugar season is winding down. The sap is getting buddy.
