Sapping, Maple Syrup, Amish, and Good Fences


This post was ready to go last week when I realized that Thursday was Maundy Thursday and I wanted to do a post on that. I'll have to tell you that a lot has changed in a week's time! Our snow is GONE, for which I am so grateful! But the following text refers to last week when the sapping was going strong.

"This week we've been seeing a lot of sap bags hanging in maple woods in our neighborhood. With temps below freezing at night and warming up during the days, it's perfect for sapping."


Each big maple tree has two bags attached.


Neighborhood Amish barn and horses

Looks like this Amish family are also on their way to collect sap.



Pretty curious. Pretty and curious.


Really Good Fences


What a difference a week can make in NW Wisconsin! We now have no snow on the ground. Yea!!





 Packed and ready to go!
Appx. 400-500 books

We're heading up to Half Price Books in Minnesota. It's Kevin's birthday and we're hoping to at least get enough cash to pay for fuel and buy a birthday dinner at Good Earth. It seems to be one of the few restaurants on the planet that doesn't poison perfectly good food. They just leave it perfectly good, and let us pay them for not poisoning it. We're willing to do that - on special occasions.


Happy Birthday Man
Does Jazzie look relaxed or what!
