Started tapping yesterday around 9:30 am and quite surprised on how well the sap was flowing with the snow and wind. Finished up around 1:00 with about 90 or so taps in on buckets. I went back to the first bucket and had a little over a half gallon of fresh juice!! Need to start a fire today and clean everything up with hot water. Should be able to sweeten the pans by Tues. I hope. I have 650 gallons of storage waiting to be filled with natures nectar. I'm getting itchy!!!!!!!
