Maple Madness Tour -- Day One continued...

After learning how maple syrup is made, we took pix of Little Sal hanging out with some sap buckets on a woodpile in a corner of the cabin.  The evaporator in Burton is not fueled with wood anymore, but the pile was very photogenic.

Then we went outside to take some pictures of Little Sal on top of a sap bucket.  It was hard to get the ukulele to balance there on the slippery wet snow, but we managed to find a way.  Here's an interesting thought contributed by a friend -- this tree is one of Sal's cousins, since the trees are maple and the uke is maple, too.
