The sugaring season has begun.....

My Grandpa started boiling today. The sap ran quite a bit yesterday, so the guys had to gather today in the pouring rain. I was "invited" to go along, and I quickly declined. Instead I stayed at the house and made blueberry muffins and baked beans.

A sure sign of spring. I love the smell of sap being boiled and the samples of freshly made syrup we get to taste!!!

You were smart to decline, Jamin. My arms always felt inches longer after carries buckets of sap to the wagon. It was good exercise though.

Remember when we went sugaring with you guys???
The best part was Grandma Billings throwing Kurts gloves into the fire!:-)
