Maple syrup season

With the warm weather, many friends are telling us about tapping or they have at least visited a sugar shack. We are so fortunate to have several maple trees on our school property that can be tapped. 

We noticed that the tree was warmer on one side than the other. That was the same side that the bucket was on.

We talked about how the tree took sap from it’s roots to it’s branches once it got warm. It did this in little things much like our veins.

Finally, we got to try the sweet sap.

Someone described it as tasting like “watermelon”! Yum!
