Finally cooling off after several days with hot strange weather, clear and beautiful but record-breaking with heat. The air was so dry, the sun had a searing glare to it. We wore hats and dark glasses and took a hike to Center Sandwich yesterday, 70 degrees.
Sap cannot run in this weather. Rudy emptied every tank and bucket on Thursday again. We'll wait a few days and see if the temperature drops enough for a second run. Weatherman predicts snow on Tuesday so perhaps it will get cool enough. But perhaps it won't.
