Happy St Patrick's Day!
Lydia caught a leprechaun at school with her pit trap,
and we toasted with an Irish meal at home, "Slainte!"
Abigail exhibiting some Irish flair! ;)
March also stands for maple tapping time!
This nice lady guided us in a nature walk and taught us a song about the Maple trees.
We caught the last day of tapping at Hawthorne Hallow. (boo-no more sap, but yay-that's because temps won't fall below freezing any more!)
More magic happens here in the sugar shack. 34 gallons of sap boils down to 1 gallon of syrup.
We left with puddle-splashed boots and 2 bottles of real maple syrup; 1 rich dark amber for pancakes and 1 creamy light golden for topping ice cream, delish!
