The maple sap started running on Sunday in Ken Clark's backyard on Ann Arbor's North Side. He'd put a test tap in back in late January and installed the rest of the taps on Sunday, Clark wrote in an e-mail.

Last year, the Clarks got about a gallon of finished maple syrup from their tree on Larkspur Street. The year before, they harvested even more.
