When I was a kid, we lived in a subdivision that had once been a pecan orchard, so everybody had pecan trees in the yard. We had two ginormous ones and my dad would pay me and my kid brother a quarter for every brown paper grocery sack we could fill with them. We never got rich in the deal, but you get the idea -- we're talking about a metric buttload of pecans here. Enough to share with every squirrel in town. Fast forward 30 years to the smallish pear tree I had in my yard, and the squirrels were not nearly so giving. Before the fruit could get beyond the hard-as-a-brick, golf ball size stage, the little b*st*rds would strip the whole tree bare.

Pecans! Yum! Unlike the squirrel, I shall ask: May I have enough to make a pie of I promise to share back?
ReplyDeleteNot sure that that little guy will actually share his harvest! Perhaps . . . if he just happens to drop one on the ground!
