It is a start

Here is a fuzzy picture of the results of the first boil:

It's not syrup yet but it is brown, sweet (and a little cloudy).  I'll go and get some eggs at Mann's so there will be pancakes for lunch.

The sap was 1.5% sugar so pretty low concentration.  I'm hoping for something higher today, there was a nice frost last night and it's sunny now.

Update, evening: had pancakes for supper with blueberries and the "almost syrup".  One dozen extra large eggs were $8.29 at Mann's !  Got a lot of sap today - pothole (freeze/thaw) weather is what powers the sap production.
