A Maple Spring Scott W Rozanski

After a long cold winter, which is common across northern Michigan, spring is a welcome time of year. Spring is a transition period, from months of snowblowing the driveway and blinding lake effect snow off Lake Michigan, to warmer days and melting snow. It is a time to get outdoors, smell the fresh cool snow melt air and soak up the sun. Most importantly, it is a time to begin making maple syrup. We have been making our own maple syrup in the forests of northern Michigan since 2001. During our first maple syrup season, our children were young, Tyler was 7 and Abbey was 5. My wife and I home schooled our children and making syrup was part of their education. Our children are much older now. Their lives have become busier as you would expect, but we still enjoy making maple syrup. I hope you enjoy spending some time with us during our Maple Spring, Sugar Season In Northern Michigan.
