My niece, who is from New Zealand, was living with us for six months last year. During the summer, a friend of hers, Laura, came to stay for a short time. They had wanted to go to Quebec for a few days, but couldn't work out the details of that trip. While I was at the post office I found this very picturesque card, and knew that I had to send it off to Laura. The back of the card doesn't give any details of exactly where this is taken other than rural Quebec. I like to imagine that in the spring, the building functions as a sugar shack. The production of maple syrup is a huge industry in Quebec. I did a quick Google search and found
lots of images of sugaring off in Quebec. On Saturday we'll be attending the Maple Syrup Festival in Elmira, Ontario. Will post some pictures afterward.
