In case you haven't noticed the days are starting to get longer. In this coming week we will have Groundhogs Day either way roughly six more weeks or so till spring. The longer days means more mood altering sunshine a chance for some solar radiation to reach the ground and warm up the earth. This will trigger a genetic response in trees that will start the rise of sap carrying vital amino acids to the tips of the branches awakening dormant buds.
It's the warming days and cooling nights that starts the flow, up north it's time to tap the Sugar Maples trees and gather the sap for that traditional brew of maple syrup. Sticky goodness that will adorn pancakes, waffles and French toast. Mmmm, time for breakfast!
