The weather was cooperative, sunny and in the low 40s. Almost a little wet than everyone, dressed in winter boots, hats and hoodies in UTV climbed and went through the snow -covered field to the dense trees on the outermost south side of the farm.

“I need a hammer,” said Rodee, who absolutely wanted to start positioning the little metal piles. A wooden croque mallet would make the trick. Roger was armed with the drill. “The hole must be about 2 inches deep, so I put an adhesive tape at the end of the bits as a marker,” he said.

Deanna and Vanessa were responsible for collecting and hanging the blue plastic bags and the white bucket.

The calm forest was soon filled with the shit of the drill, the hammer knocked, grunt rodee, screams from “Hammer Boy” and the humming sound of snow pantons on the escape.

It was a full afternoon that contained some excitement, Harley lost his red bandana, Rodee lost his gloves, we found a mysterious blood of blood, and the drill jumped out of the drill when nobody looked, and the women forced itself to emit about 15 minutes In conversation as a newer, the barn broke back.

A wonderful afternoon with 86 trees and bags/buckets hung and a hot pizza for a lunch price reward.

Well to wait. So that the SAP must be the flow temperatures at night under freezing and over the freezing during the day.

Good times. How did your season type Maple Tree? Have a story to share – send it to judy@washingtoncountyinsider.com
