Pulled all our taps and buckets today.  We might have gotten a few more runs over the next couple of days, but we've made plenty of syrup and the fuel supply is getting low!  We are finding that this oil fired evaporator guzzles fuel like crazy, so may look into alternatives for another year.  We have a little more sap in the evaporator ready to "finish off" and we will be done except for flushing the lines and cleaning up the pans.  It's been fun, but I can't say I'm sad to see the end in sight!  Looks like we will have about 23 gallons.

Hope everyone had a nice Easter.  Wish we could have gotten home to Vermont, but the sugaring season just ran too late this year.
