My husband has spent a lot of his recent free time picking out pecans, He harvested 2 1/2 five gallon buckets full from trees in son Clint’s pastures.
Most years, those native trees don’t produce much but this year they produced lots.
So far, we’ve put 4 containers in the freezer.
The container with an aqua lid is big, it will easily hold 5 pounds of flour.
I guess I can make about all the pecan treats we want.
Above are some treat boxes my daughter made for coworkers. They look yummy, don’t they?
I started a new jigsaw puzzle. I made sure to get the border done before grandchildren arrived yesterday.
This is not a hard puzzle but I get annoyed by puzzles with pieces that have straight sides that aren’t part of the border 😳
Don’t those look like they should be in the border?
I won a Facebook giveaway but I can’t show it yet.
I also read on Facebook that my cousin in West Texas won this chair.
It’s a fun looking chair but I’m glad I didn’t win it.
What would you do with it when it’s not Christmas?
Just a very funny joke
And a very appropriate mug for 2020 - I don’t own it, I just saw it for sale on Mercari
Hope you are all well

You are blessed to have so many pecans! We live in the Pacific NW and when we go to Texas to see relatives, we always buy pecans there - so big and good. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI want pecans fresh from the tree, nothing commercial. We had pecan trees from the time I was seven until I was 18. They are part of my life story.
ReplyDeleteThat chicken should know...lol.
Put a throw over the chair until next year? Move it to the attic or the back of a closet? Pretend it does not exist?
Your pecans will last for years in the freezer if you vacuum seal them. I am sooooo jealous ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a huge savings on those pecans. That is fantastic. It is work to crack and pick them - but sure a huge savings.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post today---little of this, little of that!
ReplyDeleteYou got a lot of pecans so far---I admire your husband's diligence shelling so many! That's a lot of work :)
Have a wonderful day--Jane
Nice pecan haul!
ReplyDeleteI got a few puzzles last summer to save for this coming winter, but I kind of forgot about them. I think one is a nativity. I need to get that out to work on next week while the kids are gone.
The chair - no thanks.
Blursday - yep! Lol.
Wow pecans are so expensive,what a bonus.
