Cold again.  15 overnight.  Sunny, windy today.  High about 27.  The wind blew around yesterday’s snow.  Plowed the yard this morning.  Tractor started right away.

A Girl Scout troop came late this afternoon to see the maple syrup operation.  Since we could not show them collecting or cooking we showed them bottling.  Got the syrup in the finishing pan about 2:45 PM.  By 5:15 PM we were bottling.   A big batch: 9 ½ gallons.  The milk can was full.

The forecast looks promising for this weekend: upper 30s.  But long range there is more talk about snow for next Monday.
