*** Maple Sugaring Spring 2009 ***

This season was just as successful at the 2008 season.

Grandson Curtis was a welcome relief from his one year absence and was very helpful throughout the sugaring season, as well as sons Raymond and Lyle. Dad was chipping in wherever and whenever he could.

The historic farm barn, always a conversation piece for sugaring visitors, is half complete in its return to the paint scheme of the early 1900s.

Maple Sugaring Spring 2008

Syrup production began March 9th, with dad back at the helm. The new evaporator installed in 2007 started like a charm. The day was warm and rain set in during the day, making the tapping/gathering/boiling experience truly fun! Tapping started within the previous 3-4 days. All sorts of help arrived that Saturday to accelerate the mobilization of the sugaring season.

The whole family (mom/dad and all their kids) had a reunion of a sort the night before which helped set the mood.

Many hours were spent the previous 1-2 weeks lifting the sap pipelines from under the deep, crusted snow for the tree taps on the hill(s).
