Quince trees are few & far between here in Massachusetts. For a few years I begged quinces off a woman in a neighboring town, but after she sold the house the first thing the bastids who bought the place did was cut down the 150-year-old quinces & replace them with fill and fake stone pavers. I’m still longing for quince jam and membrillo that I made from the squeezings. . . Enjoy that tree, John!

We’re having a doozy right now that’s to last through Wednesday into Thursday.

Last report was we’re to expect 10-14 inches. Yech.

We’re certainly planning to totally fix this place. There’s no intention to sell this one however–we really like it here and, short of a lottery win, we can’t see us getting anywhere better for the cash we have in our house fund. Andrew’s point yesterday of moving south away from the cold does have an appeal, though… :D

Back in my childhood, our nextdoor neighbor had a quince tree in their backyard but didn’t know what to do with the fruit (making jams and jellies was not on the neighbor’s skills list). So my mother made a deal — she would harvest the fruit, make jam and then give some of the jars of jam to our neighbor. Oh, how I loved that quince jam. Every once in a while I can find quince jam in a store, but it is fairly rare. I’ve noticed quince trees in a gardening catalog… hmmm, I wonder…

Is it your plan to fix it and sell the place, as you have done with your other homes?

I had plans to potter in the brown garden today, then it snowed last night….again !
We’re having the same tea…pork chops, mashed potatoes, corn….snap !
