Our maple syrup harvest this year. I lined them up in batches, first on the left and last on the right.

It's been very windy today. It knocked down a bird feeder. It looked fuzzy outside for a bit, we think it was dust blowing in from somewhere. And now our west-facing windows are extremely dirty.

Some of the seeds I ordered. Hopefully I will lots of flowers this summer.

Tractor Supply has peeps. They don't just look cute, they sound cute too.

We pulled the taps today. It's gotten warm and the sap was spoiled (and had lots of bugs). We've got enough syrup for a couple years, though, so it's been a good year.

Both the female and male red-bellied woodpeckers showed up today.

Two of the bottles I got yesterday. The syrup is still a nice golden color.

Boiling sap makes a lot of dirty dishes.
