Sugaring

The warm and wet winter is making me feel Spring is coming far too soon and that means it is time to tap the maples! We spent these past few days getting all the trees going in anticipation of cold nights and warm days ahead...

Walking through the woods we saw so many signs that all the creatures are feeling the changes too...

 

And our own creatures are feeling the call to explore too and leave their "winter cottage" to check for sap with us each afternoon.

 

 I am hoping to have a little more time to enjoy the bounty of skating, ice fishing, snowshoeing and downhill skiing we have been doing this winter because seeing the kids' skills grow in leaps and bounds is so fun!
