Ode to Pecans

Pecans. 

7/30/2011 - I spotted a pecan.  

frown.

When we moved into this house 3 years ago, I was excited when the first ones fell on the ground.

I picked them up every day.

I shared them with my dearest friends.
I loved pecan pie.
Pecan pralines and cream ice cream
I loved pecans.

And then.

They started falling by the bucketfuls...

on the walkways

in the yard

on the street

And then the happy squirrels came.

Food!

They invited their friends.
They dug up the flower pots

dug up the flower beds

buried pecans

dug them back up

cracked them

ate them

left the shells

had a party

Now, I hate pecans..

Last year I let anyone and everyone come get them. I will do the same again this year.
Bring your own bags.

I do not pick them for you.

I do not carry them for you.

I have 3 large trees and 2 smaller ones

The large ones will stay.

The 2 smaller ones will be history soon.

I will let you know when they start falling.

I do not eat pecan pie anymore.. 

I am not ungrateful for God's abundant bounty.

I'm just sick of pecans.....

and they haven't even begun to fall yet. 

I'm linking to Seasonal Sundays at the Tablescaper's.. won't you join me over there? 
Thank you so  much for your visit and your kind comments. I am so glad you came by!
