Good morning Karen,a lot in our neck of the woods here have pulled already,either from running out of wood,or making more syrup than last year,or combination of both.Personally I am quite happy with the season,haven't totalled in a while,but sure I am at a full crop,if it weren't for open house next weekend would call it quits now. Keeping a close eye on trees,buds are definitely popping,had one guy try to tell me he was trimming brush the other day and buds hadn't started to swell, told him he needed glasses,and look up into the canopy,not low to the ground where it is cooler
