| Well done! Just one comment: As slow as molasses seeping out of a maple tree in winter, Ummm...maple trees are dormant in winter. In the spring, the sap begins to flow upwards and this is when the trees are tapped (a tube is inserted inside the outer bark until it reaches the living part and the sap flows drop by drop into a bucket hunt beneath the tube). It takes a tremendous amount of sap to be boiled down into maple syrup. MOLASSES, however, comes from sugar cane, originally in the Caribbean. The sugar canes are cut, and crushed, squeezed through a heavy metal press and the juice is collected and heated. At first, the juice is dark brown---molasses. With further heating and refining, the produce becomes dark brown sugar, light brown sugar, and then white sugar. | |

| Aww, I cannot believe I had not read these stories! I love Legolas in love, is it b.c he is the hottest elf around?! And thanks to Mr. Bloom for reignitng the love affair I started with Legolas as an adolescent back in the day! Both vignettes were wonderful, ai and Legolas' dream, I would hate to wake up from such a dream if I were a male! Thanks for the lovely imagery. The anticipation of the trees for the lovers' reunion was a great touch... leave that to the elves! | |
