today we started cooking our sap, DH collected buckets- between the 4 trees- we got 14.5 gallons so with the 12 gallons collected the other day we have 26.5 gallons sap total!
our temp was up around 55* today so we took Moose and Monkey out to the pasture with the others- they were happy to be outside!

Moose and Monkey are hanging out in the pasture with the big girls 
again today....of course it's suppose to get colder again this week
DH collected sap last night after chores and ended up with another 8 gallons- so far we have collected a total of 34.5 gallons. Boiling again today and have to collect sap yet today. Might be putting syrup into jars yet today!

Getting ready to put our 1st batch of Maple syrup into jars tonight-temperature of the syrup is just about ready! Total of 49 gallons of sap went into this batch, we ended up with 20 full 8 oz jars and 1 jar three-fourths full! We always make sure to have extra jars, lids and rings ready to go.
DH figured we needed to finish it tonight as we don't know how tomorrow will go- my dad is back in the hospital- he had a small seizure this afternoon and while he regained consciousness, things weren't right so my mom called the ambulance and they took him to the hospital. My brother/his wife were close by so they went with my mom to the hospital. They will be doing tests- probably tomorrow to see what is going on......

@Hens and Roos - Your family will certainly be in our prayers. May God bless your Dad (and Mom). Of course, I wish blessings for all of you, just especially for your parents as this is their health crisis. I say "their" since they are a pair, of course, and what affects one affects both. Anyway, we wish you all the best.
p.s.- Congrats on the syrup!

Best wishes for your parents and your dad's health and well being. Congrats on the maple syrup, it has to feel great to have that all cooked down and stored away for future use. Will you continue or have you pulled the taps?
