Today has been National Maple Sugar Day. For those of you Readers who live near a maple tree, you are in luck. If you ‘tap’ the tree, the sugary sap drips out into a bucket, assuming you put one where the bucket needs to go. Then you decide what you want to do with it.

That said, sugar is a component of a great many plants, so all is not lost, if you happen to be “maple challenged”. Rhinos know; maples don’t grow where We live either.

Nature provides, everywhere you look.
