| ...B0IL AND BUBBLE, WELL WORTH THE TROUBLE |
Thursday, 8:30 AM. 30 degrees, wind W, calm. The sky is mostly blue but hazy, and the barometer again predicts precipitation. Friend Bill in Oconomowoc reports the wood ducks are nesting already, pretty early there. The Carlson’s on 9th St. have crocus blooming, noticed them yesterday.
The sap did indeed flow yesterday, I collected over fifty gallons and Andy at least another ten. That’s almost seventy gallons on hand, and he started boiling late yesterday and will continue today. That should yield almost two gallons of syrup.
We had our second Bayfield in Bloom committee meeting yesterday, and I am happy to report it is the most enthusiastic B in B group we have ever had. New ideas and enthusiasm flowed like the maple sap. Wish I could put that in a bottle for year round use as needed.
