C: Fall into winter D: Winter into spring
With 17 seconds left, Stephanie decides to Ask The Expert. Today's expert is TV and radio personality Kennedy.
Kennedy: Hmmmmm.
Stephanie: Hmmmmm.
Kennedy: You probably don't want maple syrup to be too hard. I think it's not fall into winter. And you don't want it to be spoiled, and it seems like it could get too hot in summer. So it seems like spring into summer would be a nice time for maple syrup.
Stephanie: Spring into summer?
Kennedy: Yeah, the leaves are still alive and beautiful.
Stephanie: Okay, is this going on a complete guess or--I mean, how--is this logical thinking? Are you just trying to--tell me your thought process.
Kennedy: I love maple syrup. I've never harvested maple syrup. I know nothing about harvesting maple syrup, but it sounds delicious!
Stephanie: It does sound delicious. So you're thinking spring into summer?
Kennedy: I'm thinking spring into summer. Or summer into fall.
Stephanie. Oh, lord! Ummm, okay. Thanks, Kennedy!
