Maine Maple Sunday!

     Warm -up, mud season and Spring is finally on it's way, although it's still pretty chilly outside. The sugar we use on pancakes is called maple syrup. It's not made from anything but maple tree sap that's boiled to a syrup consistency.
     I can tell you that the tree itself worked pretty hard to store that sap for a reason. How did it make it? What is photosynthesis? Why is it such an important industry in Maine?
    We are going to find out.
