The sap is running in the sugar bush. Work the rows, empty the buckets before they spill, haul full pails to the sugar shack, and boil down jug after jug of maple syrup before the season clock runs out. Every finished jug buys you more season.
The sap waits for no one — but it will wait for you, this once.
The warm spell ends and the buds swell — tapping season is done.
