Had a solid run here since tapping yesterday - buckets closest to the house (I.e. In the sun) were full when I got home from work and ones in the woods weren't far behind. Expecting a slow down tmrw and Thurs but that's okay. Won't boil until Sunday as it is but we drink the first run of sap anyway as a tonic of sorts for Spring or so my wife says.
