Not surprised Karen,talking about warm temperatures and rain tonight or tomorrow,that should just about end it. Saw another snake out today,some sort of black butterfly or moth that comes out after sugarmaking,and there were a lot of small summertime bugs buzzing around the sap in the tanks. Only thing missing is a phoebe always shows up to claim the sugarhouse as her home for the summer.

Didn't see a phoebe today Bruce, but the bluebirds returned yesterday in the middle of the ice storm. They seemed happier today.

Well the sap was running like mad yesterday here. Everyone of my 5 gallon jugs and 3 gallon jugs were overflowing so I poured them all into my 55 gallon barrel. 4 hours later they are all overflowing again and I am completely out of storage. I might do one more boil but I will only get through maybe 30-35 gallons during a boil. My neighbor has taken some but judging by the weather here tomorrow and the next day, I will be continually be flooding the ground with sap. I collected about 100 gallons yesterday and I have no idea how much ended up on the ground. If anybody is in the Barrie area and wants to take away 50-60 gallons of sap, bring your containers. I'm getting ready to pull the taps tomorrow but if somebody wants the sap, I will leave them in until Thursday or Friday for you. I definitely need a more bigger evaporator for next year. Almost makes me cry to not be able to get through it, but hopefully somebody can.
2016 - 64 taps (47 gravity fed to buckets, 17 hanging on a tree)
2015 - 50 taps (35 gravity fed to buckets, 15 hanging on a tree)
2014 - 5 taps hanging on a tree
pair of showshoes and an inner tube and toboggan to haul it to the stove.
Boiling under a tarp again this year, hoping to build a shack in summer 2016. (Of course that was the plan for 2015 too)
I wish I could come get it...down in London area and its still flowing good here...I am surprised but my trees are sheltered from the sun on a low ridge..I am a newbee at best
Hey Bruce, your phoebe is here on my deck right now. I'll let her know you are looking for her.
