The Lillyzoo this Weekend

It s time for maple sugaring the trees are tapped and the sap is flowing!

Anthony got his new milling attachment frame for his chainsaw to mill down the live edge lumber in the yard. Here he and Z are working on a red maple in the yard.

I made Carrot Orange Juice this morning and then made muffins with the pulp.
