Here it is, 9:30 and 40 degrees.  Just a few clouds up there in the bright blue sky with lots of sunshine - I am expecting I might just get some Maple sugaring photos today - Will be happy to put them up if you send them to me.

The brother of one of my co-workers is a farmer in Sheldon. Last week he had a one-day record of 150 gallons. On Saturday he filled three barrels in three hours - each barrel holds 33 gallons. Someone else she knows in Fairfield has filled 20 barrels so far.

Ed, stop tapping the telephone poles.  That's slowing down your dial-up!
