The Magnificent 5

So far, we only have 5 maples that are moderately close to our house that we are taking sap from. We're using a very simple way of collecting the sap. Just tapping into the bark a few inches, and inserting a spile attached to a tube that goes into a hole in the bucket! Tada!

Today's weather is pretty cold in the upper 40s and lower 50s. It rained a little on and off in the morning and it's a little misty right now.
