Tonight we boiled down the first batch of maple syrup. It was a beautiful evening--warm and calm. It may be the only one this year--the trees are already budding out and the temperature isn't getting below freezing at night. We finished the outside boil just before midnight--85 gallons down to 5. We'll finish it off on the stove. We had some tea with maple syrup in it before we went to bed. It was quite wonderful.
