Hello, friends. Dave here. We’re busy collecting and boiling maple sap these days. Have eighteen gallons of syrup finished, and a pretty good “run” today. Looks like the next few days may be decent. Went for a short drive today to see if my Amish neighbors are collecting sap too, and they are. We’ll post some pictures here with some explanations.

They will not work on Sunday, except for normal everyday chores like feeding the livestock and milking the cows.](http://empty.lehmans.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/syrup-Amish-wagon-in-woods.jpg)
