Wordless Wednesday


(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?

    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.

    Maple syrup I had some in Canada and have some now in my kitchen cabinet. SO good.

    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!

    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!

    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.
