Maple Syrup Season is over...

The Maple Syrup season is done for the year, what a disappointing season it was. First it started off late due to a very cold, hard winter, which started off with the trees having a very dark sap because the ground was so frozen so there was no water for trees to bring up. We actually tapped 2 weeks behind schedule. When the season was underway it was short, with Spring coming up very fast. So, when you go to the store this year and notice the Maple Syrup prices are high, it is because the season was just terrible. We got about 1 1/2 gallons for all our efforts...let's hope for a better season next year...
