Pecan Harvest


Pecans are in and with last night's wind (23 mph with gusts to 65 mph) we will have more to pick. We have taken some in to be shelled by San Sabo in Las Cruces and we've sold some. I've got 50+ lbs to make into gifts. The farm is already giving back.
Three types of chocolate dipped pecans (white, milk and dark) along with Turtles, brittle and packaged pecans and we have more to do. Hard to believe we have hardly made a dent in the boxes of fresh pecans.
While collecting we did have a small visitor to the house who decided that s/he should get his/er share of the pecans. That only lasted one night and we took precautions.
We do share and Andy and Kathy called tonight to say that the chocolate pecans didn't last very long. Makes me wonder if we should put more in the gift packages.
At any rate, USPS here we come, family and friends should enjoy these this year. Sure beats last year when we gave them in the shell.
Note: We also got a very nice note from the Senior Center which said they were pleased to get shelled pecans. The kitchen made pie. How cool is that?
