    Hi Mike,
    Friend of mine across the way is up for the week, he lives in Wakefield, I guess 5 miles from you.
    Says he goes by your set-up quite a bit.
    He kinda laughed and said, "It's kinda of a small world when you think about it"
    How's the weather holding out for you?
    We haven't started yet here.
    Guy across the way always comes over and enjoys the sweet smell.
    Wouldn't be surprised if he seeks you out.
    Stay safe and have fun!!

    Dave--

    Our season is going very well. We have 3-4 good days for sap runs then a few days frozen up. It gives us some time to tend to our real jobs. The sugar shack in the picture is off Fenner Hill Rd in Hope Valley, RI. We bottled another 8+ gals last night. Thank goodness for the RO. Our total as of 2/19 is 25+ gals of Dark/B syrup. Last year (on less taps) we tapped on 2/17 and made only 33 gals all season. (it was our first year trying to make syrup) Today I'm heading to Glen NH for some skiing for a few days--looks like the sap will be frozen until my return on Sunday.
    Have your friend email me if he would like to visit we love visitors.

    Mike
