Mother Nature's Valentine Gift

I tapped somewhere between 12-15 on Valentines day. The sap was flowing!! I already gathered 7+ gallons. I'm hoping to boil on the upcoming weekend but I might have to do a late nighter mid week.

I tapped another 5 today. I'm trying these with tubing going into 5 gal. pails. Sure looks professional. During lunchtime, I took a quick walk and all systems go.The pails have some sap.

I'm surprised just how productive this first run is. I probably gathered another 12 gallons this evening. many taps were dripping steadily into the evening so I'm sure I'll have another batch tomorrow morning.
