Thank you but it's nothing like these @farm-mom, how nice seeing you here 😉
Are you still in Florida? I must pop over to your blog and see what you and @thebigsweed have been up to!
It's still sooo hot here, can't wait for autumn to arrive!
Enjoy your weekend dear @farm-mom 🤩

Good morning @lizelle, we got back home a week ago, just in time to tap our maple trees.
The sap is running now and maple syrup is on it's way.
We had a wonderful trip and we could have stayed longer, since we pulled into the driveway with a foot and half of snow still on the ground. 🙄 @thebigsweed looked at me and said "Let's turn around". But there has been a warming trend the last few days and the white stuff is slowly going away.
Hope it cools off for you and heats up for us.
Enjoy your day!

Haha, we need some of that white stuff on this side of the world @farm-mom, I can just imagine how you felt driving into the cold!
I'm fascinated with how you tap the maple syrup, saw @thebigsweed's post when I was half asleep, must head on over there and see if he explains how it's done?
Back to the grindstone now but I'm sure it's one you love!

Hey there @lizelle, we were just talking this morning about how our Spring is your fall. My hubby, the constant teacher explained to me all about the earth's rotation, longitude and latitude, the equator and the prime meridian.
I love when he spouts off with all his knowledge. I never interrupt him when he gets going, even though most of what he's saying I already know. hehe.

Maple syrup making is so much fun. It takes 50 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of syrup, so collecting from the maple trees after tapping gets us outside and walking through the forest, it's nice.
Then the "cooking" gets done outside on a big wood burning contraption the sweed made specifically for the job. It's always a relaxing day together, sometimes the adult beverages come out too!
