We're still hopeful!!  I think we may have been anxious a little prematurely this year with the super-mild Winter.  We're all anticipating spring to come so early.  BUT our old-timer syrup friends reassure us that the best sap flow days are when the edges around the lakes begin to melt, the puddles in the woods seem to disappear (meaning the frost is coming out of the ground), and you see running water in the woods.....this is all yet to come...soon!  AND our first collection day last year was March 17...the year before was March 11.  So there's still much hope!!
