Today started cold,windy and cloudy. We didn’t t get into the woods until about 9:00 am. Started the fire under the evaporator. Our goal was to empty our storage tanks. We had about 150 gallons of sap. By Noon we had a batch of syrup ready. By the time we had that all filtered, finished and bottled it was 3:00 pm and our tanks were almost empty. By 4:30 pm we were in back in the house.

The question now is will there be more sap? We have had a good run. Tomorrow and Thursday will tell the tale. Its forecast to be sunny and in the 40s. If we don’t get sap we are done.
