    Default Encouraging Start Today

    Put in my first 25 buckets today. Wasn't expecting anything to flow but one spout finally let a few drops loose and it registered 3% on my refractometer. I hope this is a sign of good things to come after this long winter. I'll finish the other 50 this weekend so I'm ready for next week's forecast warm-up. Good luck everyone.
