And aside from the fact that taps run in the spring not the fall, quite a few of those “maple” leaves look impressively well-drawn, but they look like well-drawn oak leaves.
If you have spare trees you don’t need to tap in the spring, you can tap them in the fall and get a fair amount of syrup. The sugar content will be lower and it will stress out the trees so you can’t use them in spring, though. Some tappers use trees in the fall that are in areas too wet during the spring, and are able to supply fresh syrup in the off-seasons.

Maple trees are tapped in the spring, not fall.

Shouldn’t there be a log cabin in the background?

Fall is the best time to prune maples because there is no sap.

So the story here is that the dog has knocked off the bucket and then sat under the tap?
