    How's everyone in Illinois doing? I just pulled 9 taps. Buds broke between yesterday and today on my silver maples. The other silvers I expect to open up today with high in the 60's. Forecast for us shows no more freezing temps so my season is done after today. It's a bitter sweet feeling. I like making the syrup but need to get on with other pressing things.......you know what I mean.

    Probably going to do my last collection today. I've never been doing this in April, but I never waited so late to tap too. I did make nearly twice as much as normal.

    Bitter sweet is a good description. High school baseball is the next priority in our household!
