A beautiful day outside with a high temperature of about 50 degrees!! The trees in general did not run much though, taps are getting old and scarred over. A couple of new taps were set Saturday and they are running actively. The woods is really dry..might be the last we can say that as rain is on the way tomorrow!
Dale, Karen, Bob, Muff and soon Adam started to gather. Jack put the tractor away and cleaned up around the camp. Katie (and Teddy) joined in soon after. Mark and Susan rounded out our Monday night crew. Bob reports that he was very calm tonight, although he says this probably should be confirmed by Katie.
They found a hundred gallons of sap. Jack started a fire a little later tonight as we were not sure what was out there. Group thought is that this is the last gather tonight. Thanks again to all who helped this evening. Thanks to Susan B who made chicken and dumplings for all!
Tomorrow is another day!! (our Scarlett O'Hara quote for the day!)
One of the most fun aspects of making syrup is the social opportunity it presents. We really enjoy visiting with everyone! Lola is no exception...she made a new friend...Teddy (Katie's dog). Can't believe the white dog went home fairly white!!
Total sap today: 100 gallons plus zero (Adam pulled taps)
