Granny's gone and done it again

Pecan grows principally in the lower Mississippi Valley. Within this region it extends westward to eastern Kansas and central Texas, eastward to western Mississippi and western Tennessee.

then it gets confusing.
Yes, pecans can grow in California, but they are not native to the state:


  • Native range
    Pecan trees are native to the southern United States and northern Mexico, and are also found in states like Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana.


  • Commercial production
    The first commercial pecan trees were planted in California in the 1960s, and commercial production is limited to the Southern San Joaquin Valley.


  • Growing conditions
    Pecan trees require a hot climate, deep, well-drained soil, and adequate moisture to mature properly. They also need at least two different varieties for good pollination.


  • Size
    Pecan trees can grow to be 70 to 100 feet tall and 40 to 75 feet wide.


  • Other characteristics
    Pecan trees produce oval-shaped fruits that are green to brown and mature in early fall. The inside of a pecan nut is liquid before it solidifies.

 
When the rains stop I need to rake up our pecans. Found a tree I didn't know I had and it had some on it this year. I heavily fertilized the two I had found and I hope it was in time to get those trees to bear next year. A good neighbor brought us about a pound of shelled pecan halves yesterday. I'm tired out as usual for this time of night.

Goodnight Granny Land
 
The man I bought this place from said he bought this whole hill top , about 2 miles square, back in '72 and it didn't have a cedar tree on the whole hill top. Now it's just saturated with cedar and you can't keep rid of it. It's like a plague.
Goats will do it.
 
Good Morning Granny Land. Rain here all day today as a massive wall of rain coming our way in another hours or so. Sure hope we get back home before the bottom falls out. Heading out to get my biopsy results and am expecting nothing is wrong unless that is the source of my weight loss. Y'all be good and if you can't don't blame me. :)
 
Bet that's got some good trout fishing in there too. The more I see of your state the more I fall in love with it. Of course I could never pay what they ask for a home there. I would be happy with a little one room cabin next to that lake.
I used to go fishing there a lot. Always catch a lit. When we got what we wanted with our group on the boat we would catch and release. Scott and I took our motor home up. A lot of rainbow and browns.
The daughter that took me to the hospital goes a lot. She has caught some huge ones. You go early in the spring when they're waking up more.
Here's a couple of photos they took while there one year.
I'll also post a photo of my son Richard that's in a chair.
Oh, sure note. My son in law .. who us also my stepson..😁 is holding Mindi's fish. Mindi married Jeff, Scott's son. They were both out of the home when Scott and I married. Makes for interesting and confusing genealogy. I love that kid. He's good to her. Like his dad was to me.
Anyway, we love Fish Lake. The big fish in the photo was released. I'm thinkingbthey cooked up Richard's. 😋

Well, time to pick up and clear off counters. Photos today and I sign papers to say I'm selling my house.
Woke up without a headache for the first time in weeks! Now it's starting. I can definitely tell it's my Occipital Neuralgia. I need to make an appointment with my Neuro. I guess actually he doesn't give them but a woman there does. He told me to come in and have her do it when I'm ready, says she's good. I'm ready. 🙄
Will probably do more touch up paint. Edges of doorways. My living room doorways got dinged with all the different things brought into the home through the years. Like this giant fridge this year!
Took a picture and it's like a mirror. You can see me sitting on a step ladder taking the photo. :frow
Tell me what you think about an idea. This fridge is quite large. We've noted that it probably won't fit in any places we've looked at. It might, fit in the Townhouse were looking at. Might, if we took the above cabinets out like we did here. If that would work we would keep it.
If not, I'm not sure I want to leave it .. thinking I could sell it and get some of my money back. It was 1,600 bucks. I could buy a different type with a 1,00 if I could sell it for that.
This is pretty nice. If you zoom in you'll see two strips..one on each side with what looks like blue. They are lit at night. You put your hand in front of it and it opens..it's censored. The water and ice are inside. It has a pitcher that stays full of filtered water and a place for filling a glass or water bottle. Ice of course is in the freezer.
I'm just wondering if it would be a good selling point. I realize that it alone isn't the clincher. lol. But I also bought a new microwave this year and the dishwasher is only a couple of years old. Maybe all together it would help. It was hard for the movers to get that thing in. I can't see us moving it. Hopefully if I sold it others could do it. 🤷‍♀️
