Today seems to have been the prime day for sap production. We got quite a lot and filled the 4 new 7 gallon containers we bought, and then some.

My son and husband have been 3D printing a robot that will be about 36" tall. It has a lot of pieces.

Today we got about as much sap as yesterday. We're running out of stuff to store it into. We also got a tractor out, with brand new chains for the back tires.

We gathered sap today. We got about 15 gallons of sap, and there will be more for the weekend boiling.

We went shopping. I like to park far from other people.

We got more snow. I saw this car slowly go sideways, then slowly slide into the little hill across the road. They got turned back around after a few minutes and went on their way. Nobody else seemed to have problems with the road, though it was another two hours before the first plow truck went by.

My husband got an anvil.

I boiled sap today. I got one of these and a little bit more. I'm still not sure why boiling sap leaves behind this discoloration on my pans, but it clears up after a few uses cooking other things.

I'm starting to plan out my plants for this year. I keep most seeds in these containers.

We tapped maple trees today. I think we put out 25 taps. It's a good day for it- some were dripping as the taps were put in. The first ones we tapped had maybe a quarter cup by the time we finished about 45 minutes later.

We ran to the grocery store this evening and they had lots of bouquets for sale for Valentine's Day. These ones were $19.99.

I had a dental checkup today. The office is in an old house with neat architecture, including old doors and high ceilings.

We moved the walnut table dad made into the family room.

My son got a new desk.

I don't notice how big crows are than other birds until they come close.

I had my annual check up today. They've got a new gown which is sturdier than the previous paper ones. This one has a belt which doesn't break when you touch it.

I found this in my dad's stuff. Maybe this summer we can try testing it's accuracy.

Today I saw birds at the feeder again. I haven't seen them since we got the big snow and it got cold.

Last week I got this kitchen cabinet cleaned. Hopefully the labels will keep it somewhat organized for longer.
