-Maple syrup season is upon us. Matt spend the weekend getting our sap "house" created. It is our Ez-Up canopy from lumberjack season, lumber, and a few tarps. May look a bit like redneck engineering but it works quite well. Unfortunately, as Matt is in and out of the house a lot and still setting things up, I can't find my kitchen table under all the stuff. :)-We did boil a little bit of sap down in the house.
