Clouds with the occasional strip of blue, I saw 25 when I was making coffee. The forecast: partly cloudy this morning, clouding over this afternoon, high 41. (^.^)
My dad spoke of one year a way back, there was very little snow and he said “Looks like it’s going to easy sugaring this year.” We all know we should never say such things. A big late winter storm came and buried everything. The snow was so deep they had to take just the horses to break the roads through the sugar place, then hitch up the sled and do it again. Then they scatter the buckets, then tap the trees and hang the buckets. Then the daily gathering runs and a roaring pan of boiling sap atop a fiery arch. These days some sugar producers still use wood only, some use fuel oil and some a combination. Sugaring, a sweet time of year.
Have yourselves a sweet day Vagabonds, may God keep you safe and sound. (^.^)
Grand morning Vagabonds
