Hatching pickles

Lincoln takes after me.  He loves pickles.

We had great success growing cucumbers last summer and I tried making pickles for the first time.  (I made and refrigerator-canned several pints, but didn’t get to enjoy many because one of my sons decided to tinker with the basement fridge temperature knob and turned the entire thing off without us knowing…but I digress.)  They were ok, but I want to try another recipe the next time I attempt to make them again.  Anyway…Lincoln is extremely excited about the cucumbers we’re growing again this year.  He’s so anxious for them to grow that when we were in the produce section of the grocery store today, he told me, “My pickles haven’t hatched yet!”
