Tapping Trees

So, what's your definition of "tapping" trees? Trees that tap dance? Or banging on a tree--you know, "tap tap tap" to see what hops out? Or...the most delicious option! Maple syrup time! DS5 and I got a giggle on Tapping Eve over the possible silly definitions of "tapping trees." And I'm sure that tonight he's a very sleepy boy because he was a very busy boy, helping Poppa with those taps. 60 taps is a lot, and 60 buckets will be a lot to gather every day, but boy oh boy, will it smell good cooking and taste good for the next year!
