ROYGBIV!

Last Friday's sugar Shack field trip did not disappoint! Thank you to everyone who made it possible, especially to Michele M. and all of the drivers. We have tons of photos and a write up for the next post. For now...


Can you guess what we're working on?

Last of the Sap

The gap between daytime and overnight temperatures has been steadily closing, which means that the Sap is no longer "running hard". We did, however, find an excellent surprise the last time we checked our bucket...
Sugar Ants!!!
(There were a bunch of Ladybugs too, but they flew away before we could take their picture!)
We haven't seen this many bugs outside since the fall, so the Frogs were thrilled!
We will probably pull the tap out tomorrow. Then on Friday, we'll wrap up our sugaring season with a trip to a local sugar shack for a look at a large scale sugaring operation...and some pancakes, of course!
