Nod to the Astronauts and Vermont Maple Syrup

Our news comes from radio, various internet links and local channels over Air.
Oh, sometimes seems like there's no good news.
Really enjoyed WCAX Cat did a story about Vermont maple syrup going to the
International Space  Station.

have you heard of #twaiku?
my friend Judy who writes Peace be with you
practices the haiku perfectly,
it is fun to twy and yesterday i twied some twitter-haiku.
forgot the darn # tag but working on it...
finally, no matter how many fall tree pictures you take,
you can come close,
but never quite the same,
as seeing this in person.

I had a tall glass of sap tonight afraid at first but after awhile I got the hang of it. Rich in micronutrients I cannot pronounce and many cannot comprehend. That is the beauty of nature after all, it makes it looks so easy.
Sweet dreams!
