Sugaring Time at Last

The buckets were hung on March 10. We collected 46 gallons and boiled on March 13 leaving some unfinished syrup still in the evaporator. We made 1 gallon of syrup that is delicious. However, the temperatures have stayed warm day and night, so the sap is not flowing very much. I dumped what little there was and now it time to dump the rest and clean up. The whole thing did not last long for us and yielded little. Last year we made 10 gallons. At this post, March 20, the first day of spring, our snow is gone, what there was of it. Temps are breaking records all over this week. We are see low 70s during the day, and 50s at night. Cooling is predicted, but the sugaring season is done for this year. This will be remembered for a long time.
