8 overnight again.  Sunny and 38 during the day.  Trees started dripping late.  When its so cold it takes a long time to warm.  We’re hopeful for sap Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  We warm into the 40s with freezing nights.  Although tonight is forecast for a wintery mix.

The pastor was out at 11:00 AM for a blessing of  the maples.  Maple syrup is the first crop of the season.  Giving thanks for it is appropriate.
