WOW! The cold snap broke this morning and I’m in the middle of a full-on sap run. I collected 5 gallons already and the buckets are half full again. I guess I just needed a little patience- that post yesterday to the weather God’s probably helped as well. I guess I’m not going to have to buy my maple syrup this year after all. I’m spending the weekend at my parents, so I won’t be able to start boiling until Monday. For now, the pond is helping keep my jugs of sap cool. I took a big sip of sap and it was SWEET and refreshing. If you have Maple trees in your yard, I highly suggest you give this a try… and stop buying that FAKE CRAP.
