The First Drops

Notice the crystal clear sap drop hanging on the lip of the tap.

Found my boots and wearing my Goofy and Tigger sweatshirts, (trying to hold onto Disney and the Disney feeling a bit longer) under my all weather shell, I went out to tap with the little one. This is the first year we have put taps in with over a foot of snow on the ground. It will be a tough haul collecting the sap. As one foot stays on the surface of the snow and the next step plunges down knee deep.

Taking a warm weather vacation in February sets my sights on warmer weather at home -- so imagine my surprise to find two inches of fresh snow on the ground this morning.
