It's tree tapping time! I never cease to be amazed when I see sap dripping out of a tree, knowing that it possesses life giving nutrients and can be enjoyed as a tasty treat. Our culture prides itself in complex technical invention, but my heart turns to praise God for the genius, yet simple, ways he provides for his creation.Whether you are tapping your own trees, or just want to expose your children to the beauty of turning sap into delicious syrup, these are the books for you! (I know I said 8 books, but I couldn't resist and threw in a 9th!)
