March just isn't March without mud, sunshine, snow, ice and maple syrup.
(Skip to the end of the post for good maple syrup reads)
My mom and the kids and I had a couple opportunities this weekend to celebrate the season. A hike yesterday on a local path, tapped maple trees adorning the trail.
Then an outing this morning to participate in Maine Maple Sunday festivities at A Wrinkle In Thyme, a very homey maple syrup and fiber farm. What could be better than yarn and maple syrup?

first run off: it takes 40 gallons to make 1 gallon of syrup
farm wool
wood burning stove: there is nothing sweeter smelling than woodsmoke and maple syrup

Wood smoke AND real maple syrup? Sounds like heaven. What a great outing.

Love it! My Memere grew up
Love it! My Memere grew up on a maple syrup farm, so she always spoiled us with Canadian Maple Syrup. I like to tell people that I have maple syrup running through my veins (even though I've never been to a sugar shack -- sacrilege!).
