Against all odds our huge old pecan trees have pecans this year. And lately we've been battling with the squirrels to try to protect our harvest. The pecans are not ripe yet but that is not stopping those pesky pests from tearing into the green pecans.  We have day jobs so you can guess who's winning...

Since the temperatures have dropped we've seen a raccoon and a skunk on the porch within the past week, the squirrels are partying it up in the back yard and something (mole/gopher) is going to town in my front lawn. I'm not sure we had this much wild life when we lived out in the country...
