I bet you are so happy to be back boiling after all of those long, difficult days over the past few weeks. Have a great day steaming up the place.

With two early season mini-runs I made a gallon of gorgeous light syrup. But that's it. No sap since March 3rd. Not a drop. (My signature is sadly up-to-date. :lol: )

Spring will eventually come up here and with any luck I'll be cursing these dry weeks. I can't wait to be over run with sap and deprived of sleep. Sounds like good times to me.
