Hi everyone,
I really thought this would be my 2nd year in a row NOT sugaring.
Last year we took a break because of the crazy winter and lots of cleanup we needed to do from the ice storm. This year I was feeling plain lazy.
Drove out this morning and see buckets out on a property a few streets away and suddenly get the itch again :p. So I get back home, get the kids on board and agree to scaling it down this year.
This afternoon we put in 27 taps and all except 4 were dripping! 
But man the snow is really deep especially on the slopes.
So yeah, the trees beckoned and I succumbed.
Here's to a great season everyone!
