Thank you so much for your VERY kind comment. Those images are just a sample of my nine grandchildren.

They do maple sugaring in our Metroparks, I have seen the buckets on the maple trees in March.

This week's challenge is anything "sweet". There are a few definitions of sweet:

1. A basic taste sensation usually induced by a sugar

2. Pleasing to the mind or feelings: agreeable, gratifying marked by good humor or kindliness

3. Much loved

4. Skillful, proficient - like a "sweet" golf swing (RUFE!!!!) I'd add: - a "sweet" photograph

As always, everyone is welcome to participate. Sorry, there is no "sweet" prize other than the oohs and aaahs of fellow Hedgehogs. Simply click "reply", write your reply, attach your image and don't forget to click the "SEND" button

That orange sure looks refreshing 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

Nice start Pat! I love that you gave definitions for "sweet".

I know I've got at least one. I'll look for others too.


Beautiful job 🪇🪇🪇🪇

My sweetest memory from my trip to Paris last year: peach melba at a Berthillion ice cream shop.


That would be too much for me - but I'd throw myself right into it anyway

A sweet treat - glazed donuts seem to be an inherited "taste" in our family. My mother absolutely loved them - and she never gained an ounce eating them! (unlike me who can only have them once in a great while)


Not quite the thing that makes me go berserk - but it reminded me of it: A nice, huge, greasy, over-sugared apple fritter

My concept of "Sweet":


I suspect these cute, sweet little kids have just given me a couple of cavities 🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨

I have only 2 grandsons - the 19 year old is no longer cuddly (he cuddles with a girlfriend) and the younger is 15 and still gives hugs! Grands certainly light up lives, don't they. 9 - WOW

It's quite the process, isn't it?

Talking about sugaring - our neighbor's family operation.

Explaining the process - even the steam is sticky. Lick your lips and taste the maple

This will boil down (woodfired furnace) and become syrup in the bottle.
