WHY DID NINTENDO REMOVE MARIO IN ANIMATRONIC HORROR FULL
Then the expression that “bad things happen in threes” really went into full affect when not only did I lose my job because of the lackluster economy but so did my husband. My husband and I were just too caught up in our personal lives to take the 10 minutes to remove the taps from the trees. Not only was that unsightly, but it was disrespectful to the trees. The one thing I really regret doing was leaving the tap’s in the trees where the sap just overflew the five gallon containers everyday all the way up until July. I really felt a sense of burden was lifted off from my shoulders for not having to worry about collecting the sap and waiting for hours and hours until the sap was boiled down into syrup.
I purchased so much maple syrup from the grocery store that I really didn’t need any from my trees this year. So when I noticed that maple syrup was cheaper than usual this year at my local grocery store, I couldn’t help but not pass up on the great offer. This year things are just more hectic with running my 11 year-old daughter, Grace around everywhere to her activities, taking care of the house to include my husband Ted, and the insanity that has been going on at my job lately. I repeat this process every three days with collecting the sap and boiling it.
The boiling takes a long time and produces just a little bit of maple syrup which is one of the reasons why it is so expensive to purchase. About once every three days, I go outside and collect the sap from the five trees and eventually combine the total sap into a large cooking pot, where I boil it until it turns into a thick syrup. To harvest the maple sap, I carefully drill a short hole into each one of the tree’s then insert the tap’s and then set up five gallon plastic containers to collect the tree sap at each tree and wallah I’m done! Well for at least collecting the sap.Īs the days get warmer, the individual tree’s will produce more and more sap. It’s amazing how just a total of five maple trees can not only provide much needed shade for my house during the summer months but how they can also provide me with such a sweet delicacy of maple sugar. Nothing taste better to me than the sweet taste of maple syrup, which is undeniably better than cane sugar.Īs spring is in full bloom now, I fully take advantage of what the maple trees on my small tenth of an acre property have to offer.
