We chose to run from Hurricane Irma and she decided to follow us to Eufaula with a few tropical wind gusts which shook the trees of a few limbs. Thankfully there was no damage to our home just a lot of yard clean up.
It shook our pecan trees and the yard became a treasure land which made the clean up so rewarding. With each pecan I picked up I could hear the squirrels fussing me out as this time I beat them before they stripped the trees bare.
The next few days were spent cracking away and I am happy to say there will be a few pies and pecan goodies for the holidays ahead.

So glad that you all were ok. Our neighbor has a pecan tree that overhangs our yard. We have been here for 19 years and I have never seen so many pecans falling from that tree. We love it.
Oh, what a lovely thing to hear that the wind was a blessing to drop those pecans! This is my first time visiting here I think, Your home looks absolutely beautiful and labor of love!
You're living a dream...
Blessings, Roxy
So glad you had no hurricane damage, so many are in such dire straights. My favorite dessert/dish - anything with pecans.
A pecan tree? How cool! Glad to hear you didn't get hit with the worst of the storm and all those nut are certainly the silver lining!
I am so glad that you weren't hit by the worst of Irma! Pecans are perfect for fall and Christmas baking!
