I tapped five sugar maple trees and collected about 35 gallons of sap. Then I retreated to my man cave behind the barn to boil it down. This year I added a hydrometer. The thicker the liquid the higher the hydrometer floats in the stainless steel tube. Notice the grass getting a spring green color. At times I had to set up wind breakers. After dark a rabbit hid about 15 feet away in the plowed ground and watched. For a fleeting moment nature and I enjoyed the magic.
