Cabane à Sucre (Maple Syrup Season in Quebec)
With the slowly rising warmth of the sun, in the early days of the northern spring, it begins. The soft warmth of the afternoon sun heats the trunks of maples and the soil below, thawing the sugary water within trees, triggering the upward flow of sucrose rich liquid signalling the trees awakening for a new season of growth. In Quèbec this also triggers a flurry of activity among maple syrup producers who descend upon their woodlots in preparation for the new harvest.

The mineral deal between Ukraine and the United States has been signed.
It’s a major political and diplomatic win for Ukraine and the U.S.
It gives Trump a domestic political boost — and that translates, I expect, into a more positive attitude toward Ukraine. 1/
