Snow!! We've been having weather in the 80's here in VA...even one day of 90! Thankfully it has cooled off for a few days, but I can't even imagine snow in April! Enjoy that maple syrup...my mama grew up in upstate NY, so *real* maple syrup is a big love of our families. :) Wow! Snow!! We’ve been having weather in the 80′s here in VA…even one day of 90!

Hey, Janna, maybe that's where the long Berge arms come from, too!

Looking at your pictures reminds me how much I love the smell of the woods, thawing out from its long winter nap. Ahhhh....the memories are so gorgeous. At the time when we had to be out there working, however, I think I was a little less romantic about it all. I can remember sap running down my leg into my boot from hauling too-full buckets around and the feeling of my icy cold fingers trying to pry off the lids to the buckets. And that is why we are the robust northern Minnesotan women that we are! We owe it all to maple syruping! Great post Janna!

I look forward to reading about the process, as I know very little about it. Mmm, snow in the woods -- just beautiful!
