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.

Bananas Foster Cheesecake

From Rocky's Tails and Shells. Well, their version, anyway. ;-)

One crawfish had huge claws.

Crawfish season is almost over for this year. It has been a good one.

We also had a nice little rain. A good downpour for about 15-20 minutes. Nice.

You all be safe and God bless!

A short post

We ate some more great crawfish this weekend.

Next time I should get a picture of the Bananas Foster Cheesecake they have for desert. Oh wow! Good stuff!

It is Elderberry season. Well, almost. :)

It was pretty sunny this morning when I took the picture, so sorry for the quality. Maybe I'll get a picture later in the day next time.

The pecan 'flowers' have all turned brown and most have fallen off. This picture is from one of the older trees I call the Christmas pecan tree, because the pecans are pretty much always bigger and heavier than the others so they make good Christmas presents.

Hard to believe we have to wait until the end of September or October before we can eat them. :)

The magnolia trees are blooming everywhere down here.

All the blooms are way over my head so that's the best I could get.

And we found 3 turtles in different places in the pasture that were laying eggs.

You can click the pictures to make them bigger.

It is definitely summer here. Low to mid 90s for the last week and the next to come. Just means we are a week closer to fall. ;-)
You all be safe and God bless. ♥

Not much to talk about

Summer is here. No spring this year. Oh well. Just means fall will be here sooner. (A girl can hope!)

But I will share some photos, because it is easier than posting.

Around the yard.

Been a good year for wild black berries. :)

The glimmer in the pecan tree's mind?

Hopefully we get enough figs this year that we can get a few before the birds, wasps and whatever else likes fresh figs. :)

Heading out on the road tomorrow. Going to Livingston, LA, for a couple nights and to hit the flea markets this weekend. :)
Should be okay to leave the boys here alone. They'll probably be as happy that we are gone, as we will be to get away for a bit. :)

You all be safe and have a wonderful, blessed weekend. ♥

Because March is almost over

and I should post something.

Hubby and I went out for crawfish yesterday. A place called Robbie G's. (No relation, I asked last time. ;-) )

We tried one of the appetizers. Broccoli Cheese bites. They were really good, just a little too much cheese. But did I say they were really good?

And of course in crawfish season, we had crawfish, too.

Going to Lafayette tomorrow to make the rounds. Supposed to be in the 80s with no rain until sometime next week. :)

Be safe. I hope you all have a blessed weekend. ♥
