GETTING READY

 Yesterday we got our maple syrup supplies out of storage, cleaned and ready for the season.

 First job was drilling the holes for the taps.

 Then Owen drove in the tap making it snug against the tree. Oma made sure everything was done right.

 We kept moving through our property selecting trees and getting Owen to drill the holes.

 He is almost an expert.

Finally we have 26 trees tapped and ready for the warm weather to get the sap flowing.

It may be a few days before that happens.
