Great Day in the Sugarhouse

After boiling most of today we have caught up on our sap storage tanks and have approximately 300 gallons of syrup...1/3 of our crop.

Sap is still running this evening, but has started slowing down because it is getting colder.

It's official we have entered "Mud Season". We have lost a ton of snow this week and Route 58, the dirt road to our house, is really bad. It looks like log trucks have been on the road, but they haven't...huge, deep ruts with muddy water pools as wide as the road. You have no choice, but to hit the gas pedal and hope for the best. I wasn't sure I was going to make it through in one of the places, dragged bottom a little, but I made it.
