Trees in the Village

God's paint brush

This is the day

Not these two clowns

but I vote for Doris our Village Clown. She is in her 80's and our librarian.

No matter what happens today we must remember God is in control. So for a little humor.

A Dirty Job it was

I will save you all from seeing my nails and hands after shelling and picking out the pecans. So look what we got , You can guess about all of the baking that will be going on at my house come Thanksgiving and Christmas. We got 16 cups. Poor Frank has not been feeling very well the last two days . Every one go over and say hi to the dear. I feel bad now that we didn't shell and pick his pecans out to. And a Very Happy Birthday to Barbara at Ramblings from an English garden.

A ride on a gravel road

A odd find in the middle of Missouri, Arkansas. I ask where did that come from? She said it was here when we came here didn't know anything about it but said it came in handy to call her husband in for supper.

The Bennie gives a lesson on where to find the best pecan. Off we went in pursuit of pecans ,we went to a place call the boot heel of Missouri, round and round the country side then to a place call Pigget Arkansas. How did we get back in Arkansas? Down a gravel road to a house that had pecan trees. And this is how it went. Yes sir, Pawnee is the first pecan variety we harvest each season. Your first taste will tell you that Pawnee is unlike any other pecan you've ever tasted. Plump and delicious- in a word extraordinary. They have a rich taste that makes them ideal for baking. Can I take your picture? We fell for it and got 10 pounds of cracked pecans. Now the old joke that if you shake the family tree hard enough, you're bound to find a couple of nut. In the south.

Strength to Bare

When all our hopes are gone, "Tis well our hands must keep toiling on For others" sake: For strength to bear is found in duty done; And he is best indeed who learns to make The joy of others cure his own heartache. By : Streams in the Desert
