FIRST COLLECTION

Saturday we collected our first sap of the season.

Mary checked the trees down by the pond but there wasn't much sap flowing.

Owen checked the trees close to the house and those jugs that had sufficient liquid were brought to the sleigh.

Oma and Owen loaded the large buckets in the sleigh.

We store the sap in these garbage container until we have enough liquid to boil. Don't worry, the garbage containers are only used for storing maple sap.
