Tapping My Backyard Maples


The rain came fast and hard the night after tapping the trees. I’ve not seen anything that looks like “cloudy water” seeping out of my spiles! The following morning the rain was coming down even harder and I was reluctant to venture outside so I stealthfully busted out binoculars to see if there was any progress...not a drop. Guess I’ll try again in a few weeks after reading up on possible delays of sap running.  Hope none of the neighbors saw me with the binoculars...
