Another chilly day but warm enough for sap to run. We collected 330 gallons of sap in a pleasant walk through the woods (a real treat compared to last wednesday!) The Oney family (minus there child from down under), Dan and Chris helped out tonight. Jenny made a great pot of chili which we somewhat inhaled so we could get to church on time. The "on time" part didn't happen but we did get there-bob attended without shoes, but that is another story. Tonight was the first run through the woods with the new stone and it seemed to go well. Tomorrow could be a big day given that the taps were constantly dripping as we collected at 6pm. Finished in the light of day, another thing we always appreciate. Came home from church and had the dog take a direct hit from a black thing with a white stripe very near the back door of the house. Didn't appreciate this so much. Spoke with Denise regarding decontamination, confirmed this will be unpleasant for some time to come! Washed the dog and blogged and callin it a day! (Adam, believe it or not, the wet dog smell earlier, ....that was good).
