That looks a lot like our sugar maples here! We don't tap our trees, since we have locally sourced maple syrup right down the street at a local dairy farm, but it's always neat when you can produce some of your own right on site. My wife and I are actually considering starting a little indoor garden to grow certain things like lettuce and spices really just for the fun of it, but also to save a little money :)

I'm not going to touch the protests. I could write an entire book-length dissertation on what I think of those...

As for the Fotomats, ever since I read your first post on the subject, I have begun to see refitted Fotomat booths everywhere. There are a ton of them in my hometown in Massachusetts and quite a few here in Vermont and upstate New York, too.

Hope you're having a great week... I'm not so much, but it's always a pleasure to get your letters in my inbox :)

Thank you so much, Amelia! Yes, there is definitely a joy and gratification that comes from being able to grow/make something with your own hands. Indoor gardens can be harder, especially in the winter, but everything is a learning experience, right? Have a great week!
