8:55 am Happy spring! Sap trickled all night. Depending upon what happens today with sap, Scott will either boil tonight or tomorrow. We've got just barely enough for a "priming boil". What's a priming boil? It's when we put around 150 gallons of sap into the evaporator, light the fire and boil for about 4 to 5 hours. At that point, the evaporator is ready for the season and we'll start making maple syrup. Sugar season's here at last!
