This will show exactly how "country" I am, but if there were a place that I wouldn't mind people knowing I'm country, it would be here.
Pecan trees grow in a large part of the country but down south it's a money making venture. If you have pecan orchards, you can raise cows on the land and harvest pecans.
Since I was a kid though, the fall meant it was time to pick pecans. Almost everyone around will get their buckets out, find their favorite tree(s) and drop to their knees to start picking. I've done this since I was a kid, and continue to at 41, although I'll admit that the years the pecans are priced very low I don't bother.
Well pecans are bringing $1.00 per pound; almost every convenience/gas store buys pecans so it's easy to go out and pick 50 pounds in a couple of hours, and sell them quickly for a little cash. This year my plans are to pick enough to buy 4 or 5 heifers with the money.
Anyone else out there know about this dirty knee adventure?
