The past few days have been great maple syrup weather. Daytime temperatures have been in the low 40's and below freezing at night. We had our first boil of the year on Saturday (3/6). Today we hauled about 4000 gallons of sap and I plan to get started early in the morning, we should make about 100 gallons of syrup. We found a leaking tank last Wednesday and spent the rest of the day finding replacement tanks (in the picture below you can see the stainless tank in the back round, that is the one we had to abandon for this season. In the other photo, we are pumping sap from the holding tank in the woods. Back at the sugarhouse someone snapped a picture of me playing sudoku. One of my favorite past times while boiling syrup. The last shot is of our kids on a giant snow ball we made two weekends ago. Despite the sunny weather the snowball is still as tall a Jude our oldest son.Off to bed for a good nights rest!
