17 Barrels


Harvey boiled this afternoon, color and flavor was Grade B. We are now up to 17 barrels. We made 30 barrels during last year's season.

Temperature 78/79 again today.

Harvey called my brother, Jay, to help out today. When the sap gets darker the filter press needs to be changed more often and Harvey can't do it when the syrup is coming so fast off from the arch.

This is Jay in the picture cleaning one of our tanks.

Harvey caught another frog in a mouse trap this morning.

Our tally so far...17 barrels and 2 frogs.
