I have maple sap in my mind’s eye this morning. Despite ripe conditions— days above freezing, nights below — I don’t think trees should be tapped quite yet. That is a March event… usually. 🤷♀️
The “lance” is a spile in my mind’s eye.
Trees have to be of a certain size and strength before they can be tapped.
Awww, Ellie. I remember her graceful lines from Medium days. She did well. I smiled when Tal extolled the powers of Murphy’s Oil Soooop! I recently had to resupply, expecting a pint container like the last. Nope, a quart. The Universe may have been dropping a hint...
Just one question: was it a bit crowded in the mud room with all four of you attacking different tasks? 😊
A note from LoveLetterist:
Extracting
life's
juice
can be summed up
with simple words...
Do Your Best
Take Complete Responsibility for Your Life
The actions to get there...
are not
so
simple...
yet
doing the work
is
the
only
way
to
make
it
to
harvest.
Thanks for explaining the visual metaphor supporting these wise words. Otherwise I’d have been wondering all day as to how the apple got lanced!
Haha!

That’s what entered my mind! How soon until the sap normally rises?
We have generally tapped the trees in March.
Sorry Thalia, but I think that stuff stinks.

All kinds of kinds!
This is great! Thanks for the visual!!!
You’re welcome!

Many hands make light work? 😂
