What makes Vermonters able to put up with Mud Season? ...Maple Syrup! Yes, it's that time of year and on Friday we tapped a tree in the Orchard woods. As if on cue, we stepped back in anticipation and saw a few drops of sap dipping off the spile (that's the metal spout that "tapped" into the drilled hole if you didn't know). I'm not sure how much sap we'll collect, but we're going to learn about the process of making syrup and how it's both changed and stayed the same over time. ...And, it's always fun to spend some time in the woods!
