We went to the DQ because it is March, spring, and the 58th year of the DQ's existence. And we got a Banana Split and listened to classics. And the guy at the counter asked me and E if we came back from a costume party. But we were just matching the setting.

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.
