Something funny about this weather in February (I personally don't get how weather can be funny, but that's what the humans have been saying to one another), is that the maple syrup making trees have started letting the sap flow... which means trips back to Girl's great-uncle's woods to collect some. I know because I got to go once! It was a BLAST! The wind was cold but I was warm in my coat (don't you love the color? ;) ).
I don't know what's so great about watery liquid coming out of trees and I've never even tasted maple syrup... no wait, yes I might have had it once on a leftover piece of french toast with peanut butter... /drooling\ But Missy and Boy seemed to be excited about it and I loved all the woodsy smells. (Seriously, Yankee Candle should consider making a candle that smells like squirrel poop. I'd buy five!)
Here's some photos Girl (and Missy) took on our outing.
