If there’s one thing I would love to do but I can’t, it’s making maple syrup. We have no maple trees on our property, so it’s kinda hard to tap poplar trees. I don’t think it would have the same effect.

So since I love syrup season, whenever I find someone who does make it, I try and weasle an invitation out of them. It’s not hard to get an invite around here. People are more than happy to give you a tour of their sugar shack.

Since I work in the paint deparment and have a tendency to talk a lot, it doesn’t take long to find out who makes their own syrup. This year, I got an invitation to visit the Josette and David King sugar shack.
