You’re never to old to decorate Easter eggs, not to mention hunting for
them on Easter morning. I bought two dozen for my grandkids to decorate, even
though they are a little beyond the believing age. A good time had by all.

Day 137/365 It's time to go, sap
-->
The ancient maple tree in our back yard decided to deliver its
sap to us without even being asked. During the night a few pints of sap flowed
out of it, gathered on the trunk, and froze there. We couldn't turn down this
generous gift from our faithful old friend, and decided to use it as nature
intended... for maple syrup.
After a few steps involving chopping, boiling , straining and
pouring, our tree provided us with a full mason jar of 100% authentic maple
syrup, no additives or sweeteners involved.

The next and only question is: Do we pour it on our
waffles, or do we take ten more minutes to add butter, cook it, and
turn it into maple sugar?
