The Party Is Over...

Checking the long range forecast, night time temperatures are predicted to be above freezing after last night. It has been a very doable season. With the sap runs well spaced -- into 5 boils. And the resulting syrup -- a bountiful seasonal total of 4 gallons. The first two shipments will be in the mail today.
