So...........I think this weekend might be a good time to pop in some taps on the open trees. That way I can at least collect over the weekend and store whatever sap I get in my large collection pail. When it dips below freezing at the beginning of the week I'll happily remove the ice each day to concentrate the sugars. I'll hold off on the forest trees for another week.

Any other jumpers in the area this weekend? Should I hide the drill for another week?
