The sap was flowing last weekend, then we had horrible rain and wind. When we checked the buckets after the storm we thought they we full of rain water but we tasted it and it had some sweetness to it. Then is was warm enough again for the sap to run even though the wind chill was incredible. We got such a harsh wind it pulled on of our taps out. So we have to fix that today.
We have collected over 16 gallons of sap to boil down. The fire is started and the kettle is set, We'll let you know how it goes.
The pictures here are one of the taps, 10 gallons of sap and our little investigator checking out on of the buckets.
