Only collected 200 gallons of sap today: our smallest collection of the season.  We could be coming to the close of the season.  We’ve had 10 collections so far.  Typically we have 9-11 for a season. The next few days turn colder again so there is still the possibility of sap yet.

Into the woods by 8:30 AM to get syrup on the finishing pan.   Done bottling by 11:30 AM.  Then back for tank cleaning at 2:00 PM and to collect at 3:00 PM.  Done collecting by 4:30 PM.  Back to the farmhouse by 5:00 PM.

34 overnight.  Low 40s and partly cloudy today.  Windy late afternoon.  Forecast is 23 overnight and low 40s tomorrow.
