Not sure about re-boiling but I would think it has to do with the ingredients/preparation of the sauce more than the bath itself. I'm sorry to hear about this happening! I had a batch of fig preserves just go wonky on me one time and not set up the way it should have. Make sure you pay attention...

A rose bush in which a female Northern Cardinal laid her eggs that I've been watching for NestWatch - all the babies just hatched!

@baymule - CONGRATS on PotW! @Artichoke Lover - Congrats on your first hummingbird visitors. What type of hummers do you get? And yes, those fireflies were giving us a show here about a week or two ago in the evenings @GottaGo - Congrats on your first hummer too!

The Ruby-throated Hummingbirds have moved into Alabama already, and I managed to catch this little fella perched in a tree guarding his feeder! He's been trying hard to share with the newly-arrived females, and impress them with his fancy shuttle display. Ever watchful, he was soon preening...

Congrats on PotW!

@Ffagirl223 - What beautiful calves

We were coming home from work and passed a place I've always wanted to stop at - a beautiful little farm stand. They had a whole big field of Tulips planted and blooming, where you could cut/dig them to take home. We got a bunch for my mother-in-law and this is one of the ones we brought her, in...

A big welcome to you!

@Artichoke Lover - I'll have to check. I was hoping to potentially barter and maybe help someone else out here, but I will have a look next time we go to one of the stores in a few weeks.
