Maple Sugaring Time

Maple Sugar Bucket
It's March 9th and tonight we move the clocks ahead an hour.  That is a sure sign of Spring.  Another sure sign of spring are the Maple Sugar buckets you see hanging from the trees now.  The sap is flowing.  Life is working its way back from below the frozen ground. Some of the roads are posted with orange signs telling the heavy trucks they can not drive over them until the thaw is complete. It reached a high of 48 degrees in Bethel today.  It's beautiful.
