What we have here is -- litter.
It is all over the ground ... it covers the grass, it covers the driveway, I hear it bounce off roofs and cars. I am not talking about the leaves ... I am talking about the plague of pecan nuts. You can't walk or drive without hearing them go "crunch!"
Along with the pecans come squirrels, blue jays, mockingbirds, doves, and cardinals. The crows have such a wide range of choice of eats, that they don't even bother coming around here.
I've filled up box after box of these ... can you imagine the idea of bending over and picking them up one-by-one? Neither can I ... so I use a little spring thing at the end of a pole to pick them up with (without bending over).
I must admit, they shell-out fairly easily and taste really good !!
see ya! :)
Unlike last year ... when the old stove burned the fruitcakes to a crisp after only 20 minutes at 190 degrees F. -- I threw those burned cakes out on the lawn, took a foto of them, and stomped them in anger and frustration ... before putting them in the trash can.
They say it is good that we had 2 dry days ... because the river was spreading into the local landscape .... not yet a full-blown valley wide flood ... but darn close. This afternoon or early tomorrow morning, I'll have to go see how high it is.
Today at the Assembly of God Church ... just around the corner, They are holding a car show. Cars are still showing up but I have to go other places. So here's a few fotos.
This is a slightly modified Honda Civic hatchback.
The Datsun Z-280 is a dirt racer and has Nitrous-Oxide injected.
A nice Corvette with a shot of it's engine.
And you could hear this Firebird rumble as it rolled up the street.
We had to go up to the V.A. Hospital for an appointment ...
