Well the maple syrup season has ended. the buds will be out soon as its April which will make syrup taste bad. But as you can see as I removed the taps by simply lightly tapping on the sides of the tap, the syrup is still running!

I thought these pictures might be cool. You can see the snow storm we had during late February.

Hey! This will be my label for my syrup! What do you think?! I might take the picture again maybe the same pose but outside next to maple trees. But I think the idea is there! Man the syrup is sooo good!!!

Well, it was a success. I have completed my first batch of maple syrup! Yay! Take a look! I think in total I might have made just under a gallon of syrup. Not bad.

Really close to finishing this syrup!! As you can see it just needs to get to 219 F then it’ll be done!
