A tapping hole in a sugar maple tree starting to heal

Taps are out, celebration soon

A blue/purple crocus flower blooming through a bed of pine needles

End of the season approaching

A mason jar with a quilted pattern in the glass containing clear amber maple syrup. In the background is the trunk of a large sugar maple tree

Finished syrup at last!

Boil cancelled today

A biochar stove made from a 55 gallon steel drum that is full of charcoal floating in water
