    We got started tapping this weekend about 800 done 7200 to go, feeling really behind this year still got some drops to put in too and all the sugar house set-up
    too cold today but it appears to be shaping up to a late start again this year. its been a battle with the weather this year but is guess its a battle every year getting going and that's what I like the challenge of it We'll win the "war " in the end

    I just check the 30 day forecast again and now they are saying I will have 10 good sap days in March. Two days ago they said I would have one or two. What happened in two days? Did the earth shift? Last year while waiting for the sap to run I would find myself drinking gallons of coffee and eating Sarah Lee pound cake. Yesterday I was introduced to Thomas Maple French Toast Bagels. These things smell up the whole isle of our grocery store. If you have not tried them yet you need to stop everything you're doing and get to the store.

    We had 9 (but only have 3 still at home). An old timer once said a long time ago "The secret to raising a large family? Why it's to find out what they don't like to eat, and give them plenty of it".
