Rain today.  In the woods by 7:30 AM.  R/O, cook, bottle.  Done cooking by 1:30 PM.  Three batches into milk can.    Timed the syrup on the finishing pan to reach density after we completed cooking.  It was ready by 2:30 PM.  Filtered.  Bottled.  Clean-up.  Back to the farmhouse by 4:00 PM.   There are still 2 ½ milk cans to bottle.

The tinkling drip…drip…drip… today was from rain on the covers of the buckets.
