So we went and we dumped a lot of the sap back to the trees.
And because the frogs are out and because when the frogs come out, then the bear will start coming out.
So it's important that we respect that rule, because sometimes, you know, you want to stay a little bit longer, get a little bit more.
But there's there's these teachings and rules that I think are really important to follow in order to come back and get the gift next year.
You know, some people just like being in the woods because it's healing the end.
And it's not about the work.
It's not about everybody get up and get a bucket and get.
It's just about whatever anyone needs when they come out here.
So, like my dad would say, when there's work to be done, we do work and then the rest is play.
And the result of all of this is to make maple sirup.
