When I was young, growing up in the Northeast I remember seeing buckets on Maple trees. I read the "Little House" books and of course enjoyed maple syrup on my pancakes. One year, our youth group went on a mission trip to help clear the Sugar Bush in Iroquios Nation. While living in the South we enjoyed maple syrup and I read the "Little House" books to the boys. But, the climate did not allow for maple syrup making. Now, living in the upper Midwest(I think that is the name for the area of the country we live in) we are again in maple syrup territory. Our exchange student is very fond of maple syrup and pancakes. And I am reading the "Little House" series to the girls. So I did some research and sure enough March, and sometimes February and April are Maple Sugaring time in Minnesota. On Saturday we drove to Sibley State Park. We watched a naturalist show us how to tap a tree, tasted sap and then syrup. Monday, March 24, 2008
