warm spell and George tapped his sugar
place thinking that the sugar season had
sure enough arrived. But it seems that
| the sugaring season was not at hand and
instead of continued warm weather, about
two feet of snow fell in his sugar place and
covered up all his buckets. But this didn't
seem to phase George. He retapped the
trees, hung up an extra SET of buckets, and
now that the snow has begun to melt he
has two buckets to a tree, the first about
four feet above the second. George and

the sap that flows from the trees, and it is
J a whole show to see them getting at the
top buckets with the aid of an extension
step ladder which they have to use.
