Holy Sap Season, Batman!

We're certainly new to this, but it is pretty clear that this is a phenomenal season for maple syrup!  We have had consistent production for four weeks...and for the past few days at least, we've collected about 16 gallons of sap per day. Drip, drip, drip, boil, boil, boil  has become our mantra.  Frankly, we are all getting pretty sick of sap about now.  And we have syrup needing to be finished and jarred all over the place.  Ugh.  On the positive side, the extended season has allowed for our evaporator to evolve along with our skills at taking sap to syrup.  Look - we even have a roof!
