(It's been warmer than usual, so the maple sap is running
early, and then it snowed again!)

Love this pic with the blue bags, I guess they're collecting the syrup? A lovely pop of colour.
Yes - the bags are collecting the sap to make the syrup.
Will the snow hurt it?
Cant believe the maple sap can run in the cold
Ginny - I don't think so. It freezes in the sacks, but then they thaw and boil it.
Since I like Maple syrup so much this made me smile. Make more of it please! LOL Southeast Georgia has a lot of piney woods that generated turpentine inbetween timber harvests. Many of the old Slash Pines still around are "cat faced" (they have the V mark on the side). Brings back memories of how farmers used to have these all over their properties.
Blessings. xx
Maple syrup I had some in Canada and have some now in my kitchen cabinet. SO good.
When in Vermont I always buy the maple syrup! Wonderful stuff...

Beautiful.
I’ve not ever seen this before. Interesting
Nothing better and real maple syrup!! I just wish it wasn't so expensive! But I love to see the maple trees with their buckets, well, bags in this case! Such a welcome sight in springtime up north where it's still cold! Thank you for sharing it with us!
Interesting to see the blue bags hanging from the trees.
when I was a child we had some maple trees dad got the sap for syrup from. I have some maple syrup that was gifted to me from my brother from up in Michigan. Good stuff! Love the photo!
Oh we love maple syrup!
So that's what the bags look like on maple trees. I have not actually seen this before.
Interesting picture.
I've always wondered how they collect the sap.
We have many maple trees in my little corner of the woods. In fact the street I live on is called Maple Avenue, but I've never seem anyone collecting the sap.
That is a great photo, Mari! The color contrasts are so beautiful!!
Oh...Maple syrup time! We used to do this where we lived previously. It was a lot of work...but so worth it!
Many thanks for sharing this picture, I'd not seen anything like it before.
All the best Jan
No more traditional buckets?! It seems like everything comes in a bag these days!
Love me some pure maple syrup! Janice
Oh my goodness I knew you'd get blasted with snow again! We however are in springtime full tilt. Flowering trees blooming, daffodils blowing in the warm breeze. Next stop, Pollenville ... ugh!!!! xoxo
