Collected 475 gallons. Many full buckets. Also finding dry taps. Three taps on a tree. Two dry, one full bucket. Taps have been out for a month so this is expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the R\/O down, we are winding down the season even though weather is favorable for more sap over the next week. We have two 12-14 hour days of cooking ahead now. We\u2019ve become dependent of the R\/O so long hours cooking over days isn\u2019t appealing. With the volume of sap we\u2019ve collected, we should have an average season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mid-20s overnight. Sunny and mid-40s today. That\u2019s sap weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Into the woods by 6:00 AM to bottle another milk can. Only one full now. It takes 4 hours from start to finish. Back to the farmhouse by 10:30 AM. It was nice to have a few hours to relax. Back into the woods by 1:30 PM to prepare for collecting. Started collecting by 2:15 PM. Done by 5:45 PM. Back to the farmhouse by 6:00 PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Into the woods early tomorrow to cook. Hopefully, done with cooking by Friday evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
