Sap Heads

 Pictured above is a new thin-walled fiberglass sap spout. It does less damage to the tree when tapped and the hole in the tree heals more quickly than when previous models are used.
 A collar, tee, and spout.
 One of the sap heads, making drops.

 Another sap head, also making drops.

 Both sap heads, discussing sap stuff.
 Rolls of tubing, ready to be made into drops.

 Getting ready to put out some tubing.
 A snowshoeing sap head.
 An icicle, in the calm before the storm.
My kitchen has become taken over in sap supplies. When you are married to a sap head, this is just an inevitable part of late Winter. One more reason I can't wait 'till Spring! Lol!

    I hope you are hunkered down and nice and toasty in this storm. Keep safe! Spring WILL come, eventually.
