Sugarin' time in St. Lawrence County
Everyone here agrees this is a great year for sap.
Cold nights and warm days.
Gonna have lots of good New York State maple syrup this year.
Note: The tanker trucks will surely be hauling a lot of the sap across the border to
Vermont so they can boil it down and label it as "Pure Vermont Maple" syrup.
Betcha didn't know they do that.
