The operations is smoother, the kids are older. Sugaring season is liminal time between Winter and Spring sitting by the evaporator for hours on end. Often prompting discussions we wouldn’t otherwise have. I love this time of the year very much.
Now this Winter has been more more “normal” for Vermont, and sugaring season started the week after Town Meeting day which is tradition I hear, but not anything we’re used to. Sap hit hard these past few days and we had to start boiling it off fast to make room for more.
