45 overnight.  Foggy this morning.   Then partly cloudy.  Up to 55.  Too warm.  The sap is moving in the trees.  If we had a freeze we would have a big run.    There is still frost in the ground in the woods.

Into the woods by 9:00 AM to get syrup on the finishing pan.   It was ready by 11:20.  Filtered and bottled.  30 quarts and 3 pints. 

Decided to collect the sap in the buckets.  It won’t stay fresh when its warm.  Started collecting at 3:15.  Done by 5:00.  215 gallons at 2.4 degrees Brix.
