Today was sunny and up to about 50. The weather forecast shows we loose the freezing nights and it gets too warm during the days. So this is the end. The spouts were wet. Some would have dripped good. But our pails are already off the hook and on the ground to dry. About half the buckets, covers and spouts are completely off. We expect to finish getting all buckets, covers and spouts in tomorrow. The storage tanks are empty. The last of the sap is in the evaporator. We bottled in the morning, 11 quarts. Finishing the last of the sap always seems to take a long time as we can’t fire much. At some point we transfer to the gas burner were it takes longer because we can’t get as much heat as the wood evaporator.
