Oh man, I am wayyyy behind this year with the syrup making . Only 7 boils so far and usually we are about twice that by now. I can only hope that this weekend brings the sunshine and higher temps that I need to get this thing going again. Yesterday, we made 3 Quarts and that is all that we have to boil. Taps are frozen and buckets are filled with solid sap , completely iced over. The wind from the snowstorm has ripped off a few roof covers from the buckets that are hanging in the yard. I need to dig those out and put them back on to prevent water melt from going in the bucket.
Ahh, the fun starts today. We will probably get hammered with Sap this weekend and collect over 200 gallons and I'll be boiling everyday next week. We shall see :)
Stay Tuned
