The rain finally stopped long enough to mow.

I know what you're thinking. Isn't rain good for all those pecan trees? Well, yes it is. And no, it isn't. The summer rain is especially good. But from what I have read, this years rain goes to next year's pecans. If it comes in October or November, then it is bad, because the pecans can get a fungus that ruins the crop.
But it also means last years rain...


I don't really understand; but here's hoping, God willing.

I thought the neighbors had planted beans, but hubby is pretty sure they planted cotton.


Just a few more pictures.


Going out of town this weekend for our once a month trip to the V.Watts Flea Market. Supposed to rain, but we are down to 50% from 80%, so that sounds like a "go" to me. :-)

You all be safe and God bless.

  1. Those are some great tree pictures Linda. From what little I have gleaned here, pecans require a great deal of water.

    1. Thank you, TB. I do love our trees. :) And they do get a lot of water. Perhaps too much, I don't know. There is a bayou across the street from us, and I know in the back yard when we were trying to plant some trees, about 4 to 5 feet down we hit water. So will just leave it to God and see what happens. :)

  2. The trees are really magnificent and beautiful. I hope it's a good year for your pecans. On the flip side, it wasn't a good year for us and berries because of all the rain, and not enough hot sun.

    Have a fun weekend - I'll look forward to seeing your treasures!

    1. We'll see how the treasures go. A lot of the time we are just there to walk and look.
      But I do know we will be buying some local farm eggs and fig jam if nothing else. :) You all have a blessed weekend, Kim!

  4. I hope that you do not come home with fleas...from the market.

    As to the yard, that's a very impressive amount of mowing that needs attention, and the trees are magnificent.

    1. Hahahahaha! I hope that, too!
      The yard definitely needs attention. Glad we got a little work done, at least, because we had standing water again today!

      Thank you, LL. I do enjoy them all. Hope all is well with you. God bless.
