I was just thinking about maple sugaring the other day! It's that time of year, but we've had such strange weather that I was wondering how the sap was flowing. It takes below freezing nights and warmer days for ideal conditions. We've only just gotten above freezing this week.

I may go to this place in the next couple of weekends to get my fresh syrup. Mmmmm, pancakes...

Wow Helen, I didn't realise we had Maple production on the West Coast! Cool!

My wife's family in New England use to make syrup, but alsas, they've all sold their land and retiered from the yearly ritual which took a week of 24/7 work.

I still get a gallon of the stuff shipped to me every year but it's store bought now. The grades decline as the syrup is shipped to the west, so when they buy it out there it's much better (less sulphury and bitter tasting).

Of course I'll still have my

with the artificial stuff if needed!
