Thank goodness for this deep freeze! Making 0.6L/tap from Sunday-Saturday is about all we could handle - both physically and mentally. The woodpile and the ambition are both getting low but once the weather warms up we should be ready for one more hard push to the end!

The syrup on Friday and Saturday was definitely getting darker with a very robust taste - just the way I like it. There was no off taste so I think we're OK with respect to the trees budding out. All the tanks are clean and empty waiting out this week's weather.
