Sundays in My City


Welcome to Sundays in My City, hosted by the lovely and charming Unknown Mami!

Because I'm short on pics this week, I've borrowed a few from other local photographers to add to mine. This one comes from someone named Evan Siegle.

As I type, Mr.4444 is boiling sap in the garage. We have about 100 gallons, which should boil down to about 2 gallons. Here's a snap of the progress...


This shot came from Green Bay Press Gazette correspondent, Mike Peters, and it was taken at an "ideas demonstration" the ARTgarage, in downtown Green Bay.


And speaking of eggs, this cracked me up; it's a sign in Green Bay, at the Stadium Bakery...


For many more shots from communities around the world, check out Sundays in My City!

  2. You tap your own trees? Wow, you must have a lot of maples on your property -- but, 100 gallons of sap only give you 2 gallons of syrup? Wow. That sounds very labor intensive and I hope worth it.

  11. I am from the Northwest where we don't take sap from trees...please clarify, is that for maple syrup?

  12. Great pictures! Am I understanding that you are making maple syrup? Because living where maple syrup ingredients literally come out of trees sounds like a dream to me! (but a nightmare to my waistline!)

  13. Love the sign! Forgive me because this is foreign to me (literally) but are you making syrup? Gosh now that I wrote it, it sounds dumb, but just in case I'm wrong. Is that maple syrup? I would love to see that in action!

  14. Oh, I'm glad you did more about the sap. I've been thinking about it since you posted that picture with the bucket on the tree.

    100 gallons boils down to two? Crazy, but yummy!

  17. I saw that Bakery sign too and had to explain it to Tanner, that's cute:) There is a sign on the river up here right above the dam and it says "Dam- thin ice" I was thinking of sending it in to Readers Digest, it always makes me chuckle......

  18. That is so interesting to see you boil your own sap. I think I would love it.

  19. Being from good old So Cal, the first time I ever saw a tap in a tree I was like WTH?? Why would you ever want to do that....and then I tasted! SO YUM!

    And that sign is hilarious...at least they are honest!
