Pure, simple, maple….
Maple is king in Vermont.
Maple syrup is at the top, and, talk about the cream, and candy, the sugar and creamees(!), followed closely by fall foliage, and don’t overlook the prized hardwood lumber and firewood. If you haven’t, I want to describe walking through a sugarwoods, maples towering overhead, the canopy, the understory, the flora and fauna - but I can’t quite find the words. The many hues of green, the heavy smell of ferns, the crispy leaves underfoot? No, I simply cannot describe it. The mighty maple, ever changing yet always the same. God’s gift.
