maple syrup

My kids love maple syrup. They love it with the kind of passion that degrades into whines when they don't get enough. So we had a great time at the annual Maple Syrup Day a couple weekends ago at Little Stony Point, one of my favorite Cold Spring spots. And, this being a small town, we ran into nearly everyone of our friends plus our village mayor, who played the bagpipes for us. We watched sap dripping out of the tree and then watched while it boiled down into syrup. We capped off the day with a mini hike along the Hudson River. An amazing day. Great thanks to all the volunteers for the delicious pancakes and lively music!

My daughter and her best bud were watching for trains and ended up looking like teenagers in an American Eagle ad. Kind of scary.
