Maple Trees all look the same to me....

Brian and I inspected a farm last week.... in the course of conversation, the farm owner was telling us about his Maple Sugar operation ..... He'd only boiled one day so far, said it was too cold most days... As you know, for sap to run, you have to have freezing temperatures at night, and above freezing during the day....

The only other way you can make sap run is to say to a sentimental fool: LAST ONE THERE IS A ROTTEN EGG ( oh brother ) ..........

anyway.... the farmer said to us : I'm not sure how well we'll do this year, we did something that may turn out to be foolish... we let our children tap the trees.....

Today, I inspected a property and took the above photos... Am thinking that maybe THEY LET THEIR kids tap... what do YOU think?????!!!
