Thawing
The last couple days have allowed some thawing. Still some ice, but I was able to start collecting last night. After today I should be mostly thawed out. Most of the trees I got to were running last night. I will be boiling this weekend after all. The sap won't go bad as long as there is ice. Next week is looking to get much warmer, so I'm glad I'll be able to collect it all this week. I too am limited to the weekends for boiling. The fire will be lit tonight.
