Ridgerunner are you sure? I'd bet you've got another two weeks of good sap weather ahead of you. Things are just getting going for us.
Unfortunately Karen, I am dependant on a good toboggan trail to get to my trees and then pull the buckets out (about 1.5km) when I get a couple of days of rain it turns my hillside into a mud slide.... so although I agree there is still some good potential ahead my days are numbered. No complaints though I am over my annual 4 gal and anything else is bonus for me :{)

Hopefully the -1 c and last nights -5 c here allows me to continue to collect. I still have close to 30+ gal of sap on hand so all is not lost!!! Every time I return to the bush I see more signs of the fast approaching spring, had a pair of blue birds on one of my nesting boxes on Saturday and Gobblers singing along the hardwood ridges every morning.DSCF0379.jpg
