Earliest Memories of the Sugarhouse
In the corner of the sugar house I would put a couple of boards up there and I'd go up there and lay on them. It would be nice and warm up there. We started early gathering sap in the pails and dumping it in the tank. We would take it down to the sugarhouse using the horses. My dad let me drive the horses. At first I really didn't know what I was doing! I'd rather drive the horses than the tractors though. It certainly has changed a lot since back then. Our favorite grade is fancy, but toward the end it gets pretty dark, my dad would just dump that. There was no need to make too much of the dark because there was no call for it. ~ Morris Tiffany
