Taps are in...

I put all the taps and buckets up yesterday and today - 20 in all. It was in the mid-40s today, but the trees weren't dripping too much. The sun was warm but I guess not quite enough. At least I won't miss any good early sap runs like many did last year. I also put some plastic taps in that need to have tubing run. Some buckets will serve as the basin for those taps (two-three taps to a bucket). Will finish that up tomorrow - it's kind of an experiment.
