Yes it is a great thing to watch your first sap come dripping out and then stand there and listen to the plink plink plink as it drips into the bucket . It is difficult to turn away from the first ever tap. Was the wood coming from your dry holes nice and white and not rotted..i have a couple of trees that just don't seem to want to drip at all...maybe they are some weird hybrids that just don't have any sap..lol seriously though have lots of fun doing your sugaring.
