Maple Syrup Announces Spring

The first signs of spring are very sweet, literally. It’s maple syrup season and I’m just back from a friend’s sugar bush near Lake Superior where we tapped trees in the deep, quiet, snowy woods. At this time of year, you get a whiff of maple on the bright, damp spring air as the sap simmers into syrup.
