more years on the same place.
SugariDg at last here and sugar
places will soon be in full blast. The
season is quite late, and the wise

they know, predict a short season,
while others take q sensible view and
say, "we'llsee." But very little syrup
or sugar has been made as yet.

him leave we wish him success in his
new location.

and keeping them going through the
night.
