When in Maine....

This morning before church (yes it is at 9:00 and we weren't late), we all ventured out into the yard in our pj's and tapped maple trees!! Ok so we have lived in Maine for 7 years and this is our first time tapping our trees. It didn't take long to tap 4 maples around our house. We drilled the hole, pounded in a tap and hung the bucket. This afternoon we dumped all our sap into a big clean garbage can that John burried in the snow. We estimate that we got over a gallon. When we get a good amount we will boil it down to syrup. It takes 40 gallons of sap to get 1 gallon of syrup so we won't be swimming in the stuff but it will be good on our pancakes.. Come visit and maybe we will share some.

Not the highlight of my week

I got rearended on Thusday... Not the funnest thing to do.. Luckly no one was in the car with me (which is very very rare).. The damage was just to the back door. I got cut on my neck from the seatbelt and my wrist hurt for a few days but other than that all is well.. Just waiting the insurance money to come so it can be fixed!
