And we’re back…..haven’t collected in 12 days thanks to almost a week long heatwave followed by a week of cold. Some trees are right back with full buckets this afternoon, some are bone dry and may be done for the season. Sap was running clear, and sugar was at 2.1. Lots of flies and moths, more mud and snow than I’ve had all year, and the buckets will soon need a good wash, but it looks like we may get another week yet.
