Sapcicles

Another cold March day with the high temperature not making it to 30 degrees. The warm spell prior to this cold spell started the sap flowing in the Sugar Maples. And because of the low temperatures, any leaks in the trees due to damaged bark or snapped branches froze into icicles of sap, sapcicles. I had the pleasure of sampling a few of these sweet, sticky icicles today.
