I'm think buck/doe twins from Melanie, 2-3 from Rio, and 3 from Obie- 2 bucks 1 doe
The syrup looks so good! Maple & walnut chèvre is great BTW!
thanks for the guess....I could go with the numbers but really hoping for more does than bucks
. I have to get Coco's picture on here yet(couldn't get it to upload earlier )Will have to remember this combo and try it next time we have chevre
IMHO, ALL of those does look to be carrying multiples! Hope they're all doelings for you! 
That maple syrup looks good enough to eat! 
I wonder... can you taste a difference between the 2 batches? like maybe the "darker" one is more mapl-ey? or something?

In all the years we have made maple syrup....I can't taste a difference...its all delicious
on the other hand- DS(15) says the lighter ones have a lighter taste and the darker ones seem heavier....he says its hard to describe.

Not sure what the right words are but the lighter stuff seems "smoother, more polished" the fairly dark stuff, "stronger, sometimes a bit harsh". But those things can, I think, be affected by how the sap is boiled. I've never made any so I can't comment on all the "balance" than needs to happen when boiling. Also, when the trees are about to bud, the sap/syrup is dark and IMO not as tasty.

we watch for buds and pull the taps so we aren't getting the not tasty sap!

We are getting closer to the start of kidding here 
pretty sure the next 6.5 days will fly by given we have 6 rental units to get ready for April 1st 
As of today we have 3 units left to go and my goal is to be done with my list by the end of the week!! Of course it helps that our kids will be on spring break so there will be extra helpers on hand
