Drilling into the Maple, to collect sap.
The children are learning how sap runs up the tree.
Everyone has to taste it to know it's true!
Delicious already.
Some even like it by the cupful!
Watching through billows of smoke for sap to boil - this will be too long to wait.
Waiting....waiting.....waiting.... there's even time to build a snowcastle.
It's remarkable how much the children and adults love congregating around a fire. There's something so alluring about the flames and the atmosphere. The kids will run off to play, return and sit for awhile, then go again. If all we did was have a fire everyday, I think they'd still be happy. So would Mr Shaw. Sitting around the fire, talking and telling stories...
