What's this? Fruit from medlar bushes (Mespilus germanica). How do they taste? Sort of like cinnamon-y applesauce.

Research about trees: Medlar
Fertility, abundance & protection
• Witch's wand. (branches) A medlar branch also keeps witches away and protects livestock, hung in the stable. To calm down animals.
• The makhila, the pilgrim's staff made of medlar wood.
• Beaten by the devil in folklore. (In May)
• Fertility (fruit).To reveal the sweetness behind the bitterness, to improve someone's character. (My thoughts)
The 5 stones of the fruit, very hard, break up kidney stones in folk medicine.
• Wealth (leaf)
• Scarcity and abundance
• Manage the ephemeral and the inconsistent
• Protection of babies
Around the month of May, it commonly happens that the medlar tree, whose buds are eaten by the larvae of certain insects, wilts. In the past, it was said that the devil (or sorcerers) was responsible and that he came to beat the tree, especially those who had not been blessed on May 1st. This is why pouring holy water on this day at the foot of the medlar trees is a wise precaution. The medlar tree sometimes provides the wood from which sorcerers make their wands. The branch must then be cut on Midsummer night. At the same time, a medlar branch wards off sorcerers and, hung from the ceiling of the stables, protects the livestock from evil spells. In addition, the medlar stick “cut the day before a big holiday” instantly calms panicking animals. In Brittany, a piece of medlar was sometimes placed in a child's cradle.
Attention ! Someone who loves medlars will often have quarrels in their life and will have a propensity to interfere in the affairs of others.
(Eloize Mozzani, Le livre des superstitions, mythes et légendes)

The medlar was probably the last deciduous tree to still have its leaves. It was kind of glowing against the backdrop of evergreen trees. Now a week later its completely bare. Once again, many of the medlar fruit vanished along the way.

Still chipping away at the top stitching on this quilt. With the intensity of studying neuro I've had my sewing take the back seat, so progress is slow, but that's okay. Progress is progress regardless of its speed.
