It's maple syrup season everyone! I did a boil last night - around 4 gallons or so, and a larger boil tonight - probably about 9-10 gallons. The trees are running like crazy today and are still running as we speak! It is one of the strongest sap runs I have seen. There is something about a cold night followed by a warm rainy day that makes the trees spout sap like mad! I was up until after midnight last night finishing my syrup and I am headed in the same direction tonight unfortunately! I am one tired unit but what is the saying? You have to make syrup while the trees run? Ahhh whatever. I am a little punch drunk and super tired. I am posting a super exciting video of me in a semi zombie state last night as I finished the syrup after midnight. You might find it interesting, amusing, boring - not sure, you be the judge. I did forget just how slow the whole process is though. It is like watching paint dry - definitely a 6 pack event!
Happy Flapjacks!
