Sugaring Season



The cold finally broke here in Iowa City. The last two days have been above freezing, and I have seen people wearing all kinds of inappropriate clothing. I've heard many people proclaiming: "Spring!"

But it is not spring, it is another season: Sugaring Season.

After living in New England, Maple syrup from local trees is something I look forward to. And after learning how to tap a tree last year, this year I try myself. But I try the local local: the walnut tree in my backyard. Sources say it tastes great. The sap is sweet. Put your requests for walnut shaped glass containers of syrup now!
