sugaring

Sun in my eyes as I drove east into Rutland for the morning sitting. First time this year. As I was driving home on Sunday, I saw pickup trucks parked on the side of the roads. This is something I usually see in the fall during the deer hunting season. I knew it was too early for the spring turkey hunting season so I was puzzled. Eventually I realized that it was people gathering sap from roadside bins for sugaring into maple syrup. The sugaring season has begun!
