Pecan Harvest and Pie!!!

 Tuesday morning I was doing my quiet time in the gazebo when I noticed a visitor.


I believe the geckos think the fake sunflowers are real.
I treasure my mornings outside thinking, meditating, praying, and just being still.

Be still and know I am God.
I'm out there in the gazebo or on the kitchen deck for at least an hour.
This hour is so important as I start my day as it sets the tone of what will be.
Louis Dean usually joins me after I'm finished with my prayers and we are reading Cheaper by the Dozen - again.

Today was supposed to be Tuesday Treasures but I felt the need to stay home with Louis Dean.
He slept until noon and was a little discombobulated. Maybe a lot.
24/7 is becoming real to me and I am okay with that.


The pecan trees are dropping their harvest and we are out there everyday picking up pecans.


It's the beginning of what we hope is a bumper crop!


Louis Dean is a happy man although he's also compulsive/obsessive when it comes to certain things.


I baked two rich pecan pies this evening - thanks to Louis Dean!

As we were sitting outside on the driveway tonight, our sweet neighbor across the street brought her dog, Mocha, over to visit. I sent her home with the second pecan pie!!


And my neighbors matter to me!

This post format is entirely new for you, isn't it? I like it.
Those pies look so good and how sweet you sharing with your neighbor - Did Louis Dean like the dog? It will probably get tougher and tougher. Prayers.

Maybe he stayed up late tinkering?
