| My grandson Logan helped Grandpa take down the taps today. |
 |
| There was no looking up he....was concentrating on not tripping! Short sleeves and shorts -- it tells you WHY we are pulling the taps. |
 |
| Of course little sister Zoe had to get in on the act. |
 |
| I wonder if Logan will inherit his Great-Great Grandfather's maple taps? |

What a precious family weekend. Your weather must be warming up, too.
Maple sap in our area just started running this week. But because we're not getting freezing temperatures over night, the harvest is not looking good. :o(
Eager to hear what you ended up with in amount of sap.
that is some warm weather, there! so amazing!
Those are times that will not be forgotten! God Bless you all!
What adorable children! Sorry about the warm weather.
I really think at some point, it's going to get cold again--We both know how stubborn Old Man Winter can be, especially in March!!
I hope you're having a great weekend!

Simply Scaife Family....it got to 81 degrees today...weird.
Mama Pea....about 3 gallons of syrup is all we got. Rick had patients that tapped in Feb. and had a nice run. We are glad we had some left from last year!
Tex....I bet it's warmer in Texas :-)
Clint....I really like the picture of Rick and grandkids. If Logan can't remember (he's 4) we have the pic to show him :-)
Kim....Oh I'm sure it will get cold again (and will we be spoiled) but, it's suppose to be warm (hot) all week and by then the leaves will be pretty much out, so syrup season would be done. We are worried about apples and pears blooming too early and then catching a frost. It is what it is :-)
What great little helpers! We pulled our taps all this week. I saw one gentleman pulling his taps today...he was probably hoping for a bit more cold weather but finally gave up.
I've actually got my tomato plants out in the greenhouse...IN MARCH! This is just shockingly warm weather. I know I'll be bringing them in when Ol' Man Winter give us one last roar, but I've just never put tomatoes out in March. It so early it's scary.
That was so cute! And all dressed in blue - adorable. sandie
Think I missed a few of your posts...will check and see how much syrup you ended up with.
Have a great weekend.
Grandpa had some good helpers pulling taps! Sorry the wacky weather messed up your maple syrup season. We are expecting a winter storm Sunday and Monday here in Arizona and it was near 80 today! At least it isn't supposed to be real cold which will be good for all the trees and plants.
Rae....I wish I had a greenhouse, but I have started the tomatoes is the house, peppers are next.
Sandie....thanks :-)
Treasures Evermore.... about 3 1/2 gallons is what we got ..doesn't go far with 5 kids and my parents :-)
Candy C. ....that's what we are worried about here--the orchard trees blooming and then getting a freeze.
Having the kids be a part of it is what it's all about!
You have such wonderful helpers! I hope you got all the sap you wanted.
Sweet little helpers for Grandpa!
Sharon....teaching the next generation about homesteading....priceless.
Leigh....we didn't get all we wanted, but that's how it goes. On to next year :-)
Marissa....it was a fun day with the kids :-)
