Bob and Gerri went to Kansas for a visit over the Easter holiday (we had a great visit..loved it all except the weather). Thanks to Cody and Amy, David and Susan, Bruce and Sharon, Ed and Judy and Midland UCC for such a good time. We have a lot to be thankful for ....great family and friends.....and Kansas is still suffering from extreme drought and a wet land between here and there with much of Indiana and Illinois under water along route 70. Weather not conducive to much syrup making here at home while we were gone!
Bob and Gerri walked part of the east path and decided to collect what little was left. This really wasn't worth phoning for help. We decided to put some of the buckets and lids in piles...don't anybody feel left out...there are plenty to go! It is cold and damp today and somewhat windy. They found 60 gallons. Bob started a fire to finish off the season. Gerri drove wally to the house and Jack filled wally's tank up with water.
The quality of sap in the evaporator was not great so they chased the sap with water pretty quickly.LONG, LONG season. Will post more season ending photos when more awake!
