I was going through looking at different photos and patterns, trying to sort and in general clean up a few things and came across these photos....
These pecans and others in great abundance, was found in an alley...with pecan trees of all varities on both sides. There was so many that literally, they were sometimes found in little heaps, just waiting to be picked up..by you or the squirrels.
Some of the pecan trees in this area are so huge and tall..very old, and then there are the "youngsters", the ones just beginning and having their first year of pecans.
Found in this area are the smaller Native and also the larger varities..the paper shells. For those that don't know..the papershells are much larger..some are huge..and their shells are easier to crack open. Some of the really huge papershells can easily be cracked, by holding in your hand and squeezing them together...
Tho they are harder to pick outta the shell...I prefer the little Texas Native pecan...for taste in candies and pies, they have no equal..they're simply the best.
Somehow, I managed to stop munching pecans long enough to put 8 gallon bags of them in freezer for future use...

Wow, you are lucky to get your nuts on the ground and free of charge too. We could find them in supermarkets and need to pay for them too.
Yes Alice, we are lucky to have the pecans, and it's ever so much fun to pick them up.
