The Best Made Plans

Yesterday at this time, there was very little sap in the buckets. I announced at dinner, "I'm not going to boil tomorrow. There's not enough sap." My plans were made. Get the kids off to school. Go to my music lesson, go for a swim, do the food shopping, cook dinner, deliver Girl Scout cookies. These plans lasted until 8:30 AM, when I went to check the line before walking the cherubs to school. Every single bucket was at least three quarters full...

The new plan, walk to school, go to music, come home and boil, while hunting around the house for something that I come miraculously turn into dinner. I guess we could always have pancakes, with maple syrup. Syrup is a vegetable right? After all it comes from a plant.
