Aside from taking a tumble and tearing my meniscus and MCL, had a great weekend watching my youngest take gold in the forms division at his #taekwondo tournament this weekend.

My inaugural maple syrup season is done. Taps pulled. Wound up with a little less than a full gallon of maple syrup from only 4 trees tapped. Also got a little over a cup of syrup from one black walnut tree. I will definitely be expanding my tapping next season. I also plan on growing sorghum this summer to make molasses on the fall.

I think the sap is about done running here in iowa. I have probably about 5 gallons of sap in the last couple of days that still needs to be boiled. Have just over 3 quarts of syrup total so far (minus what we ate on French toast the other day and it was sooooo good).
My original goal for this season was a Pint or so so I'm absolutely thrilled with the results. Not bad for only 4 trees tapped I think.

Walking onions and garlic are starting to come up in the garden. Spring is coming.

When you know what to look for it is pretty easy to spot content that is 100% AI generated. I rarely get on Linked In but was scrolling through today and it's crazy how much of people's content on their is obviously AI generated without any editing. Reinforcing my belief that it is the MOST fake of the social media sites.
I challenged my 8 year old son to see who could row the most days in March. Now I come home from work to these noted scattered all over the house. 🤣🤣

The sap is really flowing! When I started this project this season I told myself I would be happy with a Pint of finished syrup total. So far I've got a little over a quart and the sap is still running. Tastes delicious!

My first year successfully tapping maple trees. Wound up with about a cup of finished syrup from my first collection of sap.
