It was warmer today, about 45 although it was cloudy and windy.   It did however warm enough to melt most of the ice in the buckets.  We went out collecting about 2:30 PM.    Picked up 230 gallons of sap.  But this may be the end.   A lot of taps are dry.   Next week the weather patterns turns much warmer.  

We brought in the bottled syrup from the woods.  Its always satisfying bringing the crop in from the woods.  

Tomorrow we will boil and there should be more syrup to finish and bottle.
