Thursday Feb. 23rd

Another in a long line of goofy weather days with high temp of 40 something and begining to sprinkle about the time to gather. Brad and Bob started gathering with Winston and Nick, catching up quickly with Dale and Karen and Dan and Curtis and finally Kelsey. There was actually more sap than expected with 180 gallons today. It was a quick trip with good help and little in the buckets. The big trees in the middle were the primary runners today. Cody arrived home and messed up Chuck's routine.  Chris and Gerri came after work to find gathering over so Gerri returned home with Brad to do chores and Chris helped Bob move two new boxes of wood into the camp with the fork lift (in the rain!). We are anticipating a couple of days off so we filled some quarts for the neighborhood helpers as pancake and sausage weather may be at hand! Thanks to all for your help in this very busy week!


Total sap to date: 2389
Total syrup to date:  55.5 gallons
