Default Old wood shingles still bleeding sap?

I couldn't see it well at first, it's a lot easier to see in these closeup photos. It looked just like sap from where I stood.
I was looking at it when the neighbor kid walked up and asked what I was doing.

I said "I'm looking at those old shingles leaking sap."

He said "That's not sap, those are my gummy bears."

LOL. That's a little humbling.

I looked at the pictures first, and as I was reading your text, I was thinking to myself that it didn't really look like sap, but I didn't know what it could be...

What are you inferring here Jim, that those may not be gummy bears? Hope Kenton didn't give it the taste test!!!

OK, that settles it. Whatever flavor it is, it's not my flavor.
