WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE FOREST?
Thursday, January 25th marked my first boil of the 2024 Maple Sugaring Season. Although last week was quite “wintry” with cold temperatures freezing everything up, this week and the foreseeable forecast is quite “maply.” Highs are climbing into the 40s and freezing at night, which causes the sap to flow. Like moths to a light, my middle-daughter Maple shows up in the sugar house to quench her thirst of fresh maple sap.
May the Forest Be with You,
