Dave, that's a lot of sap! I'm sure the syrup is delicious. I have finally caught up with the sap in my containers and cheated a little this morning - I put 'nearup' over my buttermilk crumpets at breakfast. I couldn't wait until it was the proper brix. It was wonderful. First of the season.

The wind is vicious here today so I'm not sure what the sap collection will be like. There is ice in the buckets so that ought to recharge the trees.
