Rosie Gets Pecans!

A friend (a very good friend) brought me a grocery bag full of pecans today. Usually they gather 40 or so 5-gallon buckets of pecans. This year, only eleven. And I got one. I was told about this year's short harvest of pecans at Island Farm in Manteo when Mr. Hawthorne and I visited this month. Between the squirrels and Irene, there were very few pecans there. Pecans at the Teeter are $9 for 8 ounces so I'm sitting on a gold mine here.

I love pecans! It can be difficult to find pecans around here, as walnuts and almonds seem to be more popular in this area.

You are mighty lucky!
I found only one tree this week that had pecans that hadn't been bored and rotten.
One I found had small but so sweet nuts.
