It's maple syrup season!

The best thing about this time of year is the promise of sweet things to come. We've got three maples tapped and flowing. As long as the weather cooperates, we should get a good run this year.

Our first run yielded 2 pints of lovely golden syrup--a far cry from the molasses-colored stuff we got last year. I think it was off the charts for syrup grading, maybe Grade C?

Given the price of this lovely treat, the money we spend on propane to produce our sweet treat is well worth it!
