Dad holds Ashton up to watch as he scoops off some foam
Dad took a vacation day yesterday to boil, so Neighbor Jill brought Ashton up to tour the operation. She homeschools Ashton for a family in town and is always looking for real-world field trips. We've slowly accumulated enough syrup to meet our needs for the coming year, enough to give the two neighbors that allowed us access to their maple trees, and even some to sell to recover our investments on equipment.
There is quite a bed of coals in the evaporator fire box by the end of the day!
Mom took advantage of the down time during boiling to start tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants
And Lucy watched while Skeet slept
