Let me start off by saying that it is a false assumption that South Gulf Coast Texas has only two seasons: "hot and hotter." There are a multitude of seasons here, they just aren't the same as the rest of the country's! For example, we are sliding down toward the end of 'skeeter season, hitting the height of hurricane season, and just entering the pecan season. Pecan season? Yep. This area of Texas has lots of pecan trees, and they are dropping their nuts everywhere. How could that be a problem you may ask? After all, there are many delicious items that can be made with pecans! Ah, but have you ever considered how hard the shell of a pecan is, and how tall the trees are? I walked out in the back yard last night and not only did my feet find the pointy bits of shell the squirrels left on the ground, the trees started pelting me with ripe nuts. My husband's hard hat is looking like a pretty good addition to my wardrobe right about now!
