Got the taps in!

[TrickyBob]

My Husband put the taps in and for right now I just used little buckets I had bought from Target a few years ago. I lined them with tin foil because they had been used for flower pots (they are washed, but still). 

It's still super cold here but next week is supposed to be lows of 27-32 at night and highs of 35-47 during the day. Which will be excellent.

UPDATE:::


We got home around 10pm, the taps were put in around 10/10:30am. It only got up to maybe 35/36 today. I checked it when we came home and tree number one already gave about 1 inch of sap and tree number two tried but it froze; lol.

I'm SO excited for tomorrow, it's supposed to be 39, so sap should be flowing pretty good.

I'll take a picture of it then, because I know you're all just dying to see sap that looks like water. LOL
