Hi Cuties, I just thought I’d show you we finally got to go pick up pecans but not where we were supposed to go the day of hubby’s accident. Hubby don’t mind shelling and he’s shelled 2 quarts bags since last night. The ones on the sheet represent two 5 gallon buckets. We got these picked up Wednesday before a rain.
The second picture of them on the porch, is what we went back and picked up yesterday, 2 more buckets. The guy called us yesterday morning wanting us to come back because the wind and rain knocked a lot more down. This guy was a teacher at school when we worked there and later the mayor of our small village. I used to pick his sons up on my bus route, both in wheelchair. Anyway, they didn’t want any but didn’t want them to waste on the ground or attract a bunch of squirrels.
We had to spread them out to dry, after hubby hosed the sand and dirt off, after the rains. They are not as pretty but still taste good, because we have had such a hot dry summer, so better than expected.
Daddy froze them too, and he had so many in his freezer in his wash shed when he passed.
