Thought I should do another update.

The pecan season is upon us.

Pecan prices are the best we have seen since we retired. 80 cents a pound right now. pecans are so so, but the season is just starting.

While we were picking pecans, we saw this out in the pasture.

To give you an idea, I pushed it around a little and put my pecan picker on the ground beside it. The pecan picker is four feet long..

And a close-up of the 'head'.

I feel like it gives me a fair outline of the snake's head/nose/eye area. Or so it seems, haha. It was(is) probably a corn snake or rat snake. If so, neither is poisonous and actually good to have around.
Especially if I don't see it while it is alive. ;-)

The weather has been really nice. We actually had a couple nights in the 40s. Thought maybe "winter" was finally here; but nope. Getting another warmup. Not the 90s, hopefully. I think the last I read in Farmer's Almanac was wetter warmer. We'll see.

Since I never did the other update on our Florida trip, I'll add a couple pictures here. Sister-in-law and hubby took us fishing on a pier. The great 'blue' herons there are not really afraid of people. They will steal your catch or bait right out of your bucket if you're not careful. Some people feed them, which adds to the lack of fear.

Most of the people weren't catching anything. And when they were catching, They caught these little mango- or mangrove snapper, I think they were called.

The evening was gorgeous. Just enough breeze to cool the 90 degree weather. The moon was out early, and as the sun began to set, most people packed up to go home.

And it was just as well we left then, because we were barely into the truck when it started pouring!

But is was a good trip, even if we didn't catch anything.

You all be safe and God bless.

Time to do a post, I think, if blogger will let me.

So the end of September we drove to Florida with our little RV to see a great-nephew Baptized. I think he was a great-nephew? I have always had trouble understanding these. Anyway, it was his nephew's son.

We were able to sit through part of the service - which was Catholic. I have only been to Baptist churches before, so the differences were really quite interesting.

It was a very pretty church, with a lovely stained glass window.

The ceremony was one I had not seen before.

Liam wasn't feeling well, so a blessing was said to make him feel better soon.

There was a lot of family there I had never met before.

I don't remember exactly what this part was, but it had something to do with family members taking responsibility for religious teaching.

And then it was over. A very nice ceremony.

There was a first birthday party afterwards, but the only picture I took, apparently, was of the roast pig --which was very good.

We also went fishing while we were there, but I will share that later.

Be safe and God bless.
