Loads of SYRUP!

We boiled, boiled and boiled again, finally having our finished product today!  I can't believe how much syrup we got out of these past 2 weeks of tapping!

Over a quart out of 10 gallons of sap!

The rain is not letting up needless to say.  We're pretty flooded.  The kids family is getting a bit 'o cabin fever I do believe. The kids are officially tired of "movie days" - I didn't know that was possible  : )

Since I didn't post yesterday, in honor of St. Casimir...


Daily, daily sing to Mary,
Sing, my soul, her praises due:
All her feasts, her actions honor
With the heart's devotion true.

Lost in wond'ring contemplation,
Be her majesty confessed:
Call her Mother, call her Virgin,
Happy Mother, Virgin blest.

She is mighty in her pleading,
Tender in her loving care;
Ever watchful, understanding,
All our sorrows she will share.

Advocate and loving mother,
Mediatrix of all grace:
Heaven's blessings she dispenses
On our sinful human race.

All our graces flow through Mary;
All then join her praise to sing:
Fairest work of all creation,
Mother of creation's King.

Sing in songs of peace unending,
Call upon her lovingly:
Seat of wisdom, Gate of heaven,
Morning star upon the sea..
