Craig Millett, right, checks a bucket on his property in Hartford Sunday morning while collecting sap with his two sons. One of them, David, checks another in the background. They didn’t get much and they don’t see this being a good year for sap to make their syrup. “Like always, we’ll get what we get. It’s just something to do that we have been doing for the past 10-15 years. It gets us outside. We don’t make much, just enough for the family and a few friends,” Craig said.
