2018 Sap Season Has Begun... And (Temporarily?) Ended

Well, the 2018 syrup season is upon us.  Sort of, anyway.  These two pictures pretty much sum up our season so far.

Yes, that is a sap-cicle running all the way to the ground.  This bucket full of sap, but is still more than half frozen, on April 8.

Hello, Gorgeous!  Thankfully we did get one good boil in before the latest cold snap.
So we shall see.  If the warmer weather doesn't some too high too fast, we should have another boil this coming weekend.  If not, at least we've got a couple gallons in the bottle!
