Literally.
Today is the first Maple sap boil of our last season. We've been visiting the villages for over a decade, my sister lives there, my mom lived there before she passed. We bought 2 years ago and are finally doing full time in April so this is the last time we will ever do this.
We are coming down in April for a month, then heading north to finish and sell the NJ house. Full TV afterward.
We tap 8 trees with 13 spiles and three of them really make a lot of sap. We typically end up with about 2 gallons of syrup, most of which we give away. We never use that much in a year or two.
Still tons of snow here in NW NJ. Oh and I know I sound so enthused in the video...the wife is still asleep, trying not to wake her
