Maggie's Farm

This in from our Vermont correspondent:

Ayup, it is beginnin to drip. Not too fast mind you, but it's coming. No, I ain't talkin about my prostate problem. We had two sunny days and the sap is running and it looks to be a good year - which means ---ing low prices. Country folk just can't win. You know, Bird Dog, that this is what passes for excitement here in the Northeast Kingdom. Maple sap. Thanks for the recipes - next bear I shoot, I'll yank out the heart like they say. No time for authoring this morning - gotta bring coffee down for the boys in the barn, then get the fires goin in the sugar shack.
