It froze again last night.  Down to the mid 20s.  We like that.  Today was sunny and into the 40s.  We like that too.  The sap was running.  About 2:30 PM we headed out to collect.  Picked up 350 gallons of sap again.  When this sap is finished we will approach 40 gallons of syrup.  Things look much better now then the did last week.  The weather pattern still holds with freezing night and sunny days.  We are hopeful.

We started the day by cleaning the syrup pan on the evaporator.   We are cleaning it much more frequently which lessens  the build up of nitre and makes boiling easier. 

After collecting we started boiling again.   Boiled about 4 ½ hours tonight.  Tomorrow we will start early again and stay until the tanks are empty.
