For the sap to flow we need warm days cold nights. Yesterday we had lots of sun but the temperature never got above 0*C; no sap. That's the way it is with maple syrup. One day it will flow, next, not a drop. You just take what comes.
If we get some today we will store it and boil it down when Don and Carol come on Sunday.
Thanks for stopping by. Hopefully next week we will be enjoying pancakes and maple syrup.
Safe travels Bob.
This blog is about our life Off The Grid as well as our travels in our converted Cargo Trailer.

ABOUT US
- Art and Mary
- Bancroft, Ontario, Canada
- We are two retired Canadians living in an off grid passive solar home near Bancroft, Ontario. This is all new to us and we are surprised at how comfortable the house is regardless of the temperature outside. When not home we are usually travelling and exploring North America. We just bought a cargo trailer we plan to convert to a camper for our travels. Mary loves to quilt and Art enjoys photography. We both enjoy camping, hiking, canoeing, travelling and cross-country skiing. Come along with us and share our adventures as we experience life off the grid and down the road.
