This time of year many people hang buckets on the trees, drill a hole in the trunk,and collect the sap to make Maple Syrup, one of the most important products of our region.
50 gallons of sap and several hours of boiling equal one gallon of syrup. The weather conditions have to be just right for the "sap to run". The night temperatures have to be below freezing, and the day temperatures above freezing. Rain helps. In recent years tent caterpillars have plagued maple forests making the trees less productive, more prone to disease, or killing the trees outright. These reasons are why it is so expensive.
Yesterday I bought a gallon of syrup from my good friend who has a "sugar bush" or forest of maples. It cost $30. American dollars. That is on the lower end of the scale as to cost. But I am sure you can see why it is like liquid gold.
there is a bucket in my yard that has filled with rain water and moved into by this fella ... sweet!

FGR- Bucket List (2/20/08)
Last fall I did an internship in Washington D.C. with a senator. He took us to lunch one day and he told us of a family tradition, where each family member has a list of 100 things they want to accomplish in their lifetime. When they accomplish one of the things they put it on another list, so when they are having a bad day they can look at the list and see all that they have accomplished, The list always has to be 100 long, so when they finish one they have to add another. As you can see I am working on my list, its not that easy, I need to finish it!
The C-45 is a military transport version of the Beechcraft Model 18, which began its 32 year production lifespan in 1937. It was the result of Walter Beech’s desire in 1935 to build a low-wing monoplane to compete with the commercial biplanes of the day, like the Curtis Condor.
The C-45 was first ordered by the U.S. Army Air Corps for use as a staff transport. It was continually modified throughout its production life with changes like increased seating capacity and a longer nose. A navigator training version was put in service as the AT-7, and a float-version was designated the AT-7A.
The Model 18 was further modified during 1941 as the advanced trainer AT-11, equipped with a small bomb bay, transparent nose section, and two .30 cal. machine guns. This variant was used for bombardier and gunnery training. A photo reconnaissance model, designated the F-2, was the final wartime variant of the Model 18 The U.S. Navy and Marine Corps also acquired more than 1500 Model 18s during World War II, with respective identifiers of JRB and SNB.

The Buried Life is quite possibly one of my favorite shows out right now. Totally inspiring and up lifting. A show that encourages you to push bounries, definately something worth watching. So it has motivated me to finish writing up my own bucketlist.
I recently finished writing mine up. Haha I felt pretty accomplished cause it took me a while to figure out 100 things I wanna do before I die. Sooooo this is number 9! :)
Ive already got one crossed off which was to try veganism. And let me tell you, it was the HARDEST thing I have done yet haha. Im gonna commit most of my summer to my list, since school will be out of the picture. I plan on documenting the adventure of crossing things off so I'll most likely make a new flickr just for those photos. Just talking about all of this gets me really excited. x)

Don't know if you have a bucket list or planning to make one for 2012 but this is a great example ;-)
Thanks for all the beautiful photo's the joy and the comment on Flickr.
have a great 2012
I bought the maya*made burlap bucket pattern 1.5 years ago and finally made two fabric buckets!!
The Waldorf School bucket is made from a jute tote bag from the school--for my brother's family.
The green one is made from a semi felted wool sweater and a linen trees shower curtain--for my daughter's teacher.
Now to make some for my family!
Every photographer has a "Bucket List" shot list. This is one of mine. Naturally, there are some areas for improvement (like the blown out sun), but overall I'm happy with the result. Is it perfect? No. But it's close as I was able to get to the shot I had in my head. Luckily, since it's not perfect, that means I get to go back and try again.
This little bucket is full of chocolate and my wife has warned not t even think of taking anything from it 😉

Red cardinal in snow was one of my bucket list shots and thanks to a recent trip to snowy Iowa to see some good friends, I got it!
Complete with Cherry Picker Bucket, truck stabilizers, Dumping bed. Chipper with open shoot, and safety bar.
Almost finished. Just have to add the lining (which will be that yellow fabric underneath). From Chase's lovely tutorial.
