Sugaring season in Vermont

just follow the signs...	Old school tree tapping	the plug	drilling the hole
tapping...	immediate results!	hang the bucket	top it off... to keep snow and rain out
a sure sign maple syrup isn't far off...	today's method of tapping...	closeup of modern tap	tubing running thru the sugarbush
another view of a sugarbush	from the trees to a larger pipe	heading to the holding tank	holding tank in the sugar bush
transferred for a trip to the sugar house	takes lots of wood to boil syrup	the sugar house	nice handiwork
gotta keep the fire hot for a proper boil	the boiler	syrup brought to boiling	awesome aroma!
steam rising thru the rafters	from the boiler to the filter	filtered again before bottling	cute log cabin containers
ready for sale!	different grades of syrup	Dan gives it a thumbs up!	this stuff was sweeeeeet!
Homer Simpson, eat your heart out.
