Murry.

I learned a lot about the Sugaring process myself, even for a current country boy who grew up in Brooklyn. And pure Maple Syrup is expensive everywhere, especially the Golden Delicate we Sugared that day. At the Pancake Brunch, Amber Rich from other Sugaring days was served.

I'm happy you enjoyed the essay. I had a lot of fun putting it together.

Great photo story Ed! It is a treat to see your selfie and Kathy enjoying the pancakes but the other photos are so interesting to me. The third photo of the sugar house is my FAV of the building photos but the photos of the syrup making process are so good and tell the whole story that this city boy had never seen before. I had no idea it takes so much maple sugar to make the syrup. No wonder it is so expensive at least here in the Houston area. I love the photo of the young girl giving her fork a helping hand to eat her pancakes -- nice catch. Thanks for sharing your efforts!
