Its frustrating waiting for the weather pattern to change.   March 13th seems to early for the weather to stay this warm, even with the El Nino weather pattern.   The forecast is for the weather pattern to change to normal, colder, temperatures by the 17th. 

Bottled this morning.  24 quarts and 7 pints. 

This afternoon we collected.  Not a lot of sap, 165 gallons.  But if it stay stays in the buckets it spoils, so get it while we can. 

42 overnight.  Cloudy today with highs around 50.
