Here is the 'old' way of tapping trees.And the 'new' way.
This is a vacuum system, where all the trees are tapped with these blue tubes and then fed into a central line which collects in the blue drum. Very interesting.
The farm we went to - Coopers Royal Heritage Farm in Windham, Maine - is also a Christmas Tree farm, Bovine farm and Miniature Horse farm. They had Peacocks and a LARGE Ostrich too. We enjoyed ourselves walking around, trying to avoid the mud puddles :), checking everything out. The snow is melting quickly, which made for some tricky walking. Especially for Alex. He loves to be in and ON the snow but Mommy and Daddy had to make sure it was 'shallow' enough for him! Never a dull moment.
I love this picture!! If you double click on the picture itself, it will enlarge on your screen. Look at the detail of this peacock feather! Isn't that awesome???!!! Wow! Something else to marvel of God's creation!!
Hope you have a great day!

Very cool...I'd love to take the kids on a field trip there...we love maple syrup! The peacock feather is gorgeous...I agree...God's amazing handiwork!
Neat huh? We got to ask lots of questions too. Trying to as many 'East Coast' things before our time is up here (no we don't anything yet).
I think that's a great idea...we will continue to pray for the Lord's leading in the days to come.
Love, C
