The Good With The Not So Good

When you have maple sugaring, the good, in the spring. You have many many leaves, the not so good, in the fall. I think we filled 40 leaf bags this weekend, and there is still a foot of leaves blanketing parts of the yard. But each of those luscious maple leaves worked ever so hard all spring, summer and into fall to produce the sugar that is now being stored deep within the roots for next year's season.

The chant for leaf raking - maple syrup is so good, maple syrup is so good......

Yes, it is so good. Especially when it is your own. (And we share...)
