Minneopa State Park

Kieran's got a school project for the next month -- take a clown around and take pictures of places he/it visits.  At the end of the month he'll need a display showing the clown's travels, I'm sure Kieran will have lots of input with the display.  We had to go to Mankato today and the clown made it's first visit to Minneopa State Park.  You could compare these pictures to the ones from last fall if you scrolled to the bottom of the blog.

Maple Syrup Season 2011 --- an update

Here's an update to give you and idea how the season is progressing.  The pictures try to show you how the sap first moves from the trees to the collection areas, how it gets moved to the trailer for the trip to Norwood and finally a little of the processing.  Take a close look at the finished product......doesn't the picture look a little like the Grandpa (Count Sam Dracula) on the Munsters?
