Backyard Sugar Shack

We put in most of our maple taps today. I'll get everything else set up Wednesday and Thursday. Hopefully, we'll be boiling by Saturday or Sunday.

Is St. Patrick's Day too early to take down Christmas lights and bring in Christmas decorations like Santa Clauses, reindeer, etc? I'm asking for folks in my neighborhood.

2 weeks ago we set up our tubing and set out our collection tanks. After 2 weeks of subnormal temperature, we will be putting up the pavilion today and assembling the evaporator. It looks like this next week will be a good run. By this time last year, I had made almost half of our years syrup.
