Maddy wanted to give her mama something for Mother’s Day so we went out to the garden and picked a big bouquet.

Three out so far. One seems to have a hernia, so doubtful it will make it, but I don’t want to open the incubator to get it out yet. I always end up putting other hatching chicks in jeapordy when I open the incubator.

We do, but the birds and such eat them. I wouldn’t know what to do with them. They taste like lemons to me. Sour and hard. I know people make quince jelly, but I’m just lately delving into canning and jelly making. I tried to do mulberry jelly last year and it was good, but I didn’t strain out...

My little quince is in bloom.
