In my four years of sugaring I have never seen it this warm. Don't get me wrong, I loved being outside yesterday with just a sweatshirt on. (This is a family blog -- you know what I mean... no hat, no mittens, no seventeen layers of outer wear.)
Today the weather channel calls for even warmer temperatures. Almost capri weather. It will chill again over the weekend, so the season might not be over. My girls asked if we were going to pull the taps. "Is the season really over mommy?"
"Only the trees will tell."
Maple syrup yield so far, just a tad over one gallon; all of it fancy ginger ale in color. The books, and our vast four years of experience say, say that the color will darken as the season goes on. So I have hope.
