Good lord, that shit just won't stop....!
Kinda odd isn't it?
Damn that global warming, it must be sending the N & S Pole weather down and upward.....

It will probably go from 35 to 95 the same week, and stay there till fall.....
You're about one degree colder than us at the moment. Can't even think about tilling my garden yet - still a foot of snow out there. Forecast is talking 50s this whole week (maybe even a 60 in there somewhere), so maybe this shit will melt.
I bet the same thing happens in your neck of the wood, go from cold to hot as hell...!
Typically we get about a month of "warm" before the "hot" gets here, but there have been times when we had the wood stove going one day and wished for A/C the next.
I sure hope it don't, it's done that before here and it really sux when it does.It will probably go from 35 to 95 the same week, and stay there till fall.....
That's how not is here now. A day or two of the AC, and then a day or two of the heater.
That's usually the type of weather we get, but it's been really nice the last few weeks.
That should melt it but then you have the mud to contend with
Yep....that is one thing I can't take, all that shitty weather.
Typically, we get our rain in May, and then it stays dry until October or November. During that dry spell, it gets so hot that we don't have to worry about the lawn... other than the typical fire hazard.
Hahahha...haven't heard that in a long time.....
I love tree ripened oranges
The peach tree is loaded this year. Yay! If only the birds and bugs leave it alone. It's still too soon the gauge what kind of pecan crop we might expect.
I planted some blood orange trees in Ecuador, hope they are surviving....it's been raining like hell there the last few weeks, which has put a tabash on finishing my house.
Already when I go out to the horse barn and chicken coop, I am wading through mud about 6" deep. Sometimes the suction tries to pull my boots off,
There are quite a few pecan groves in Arizona. I didn't know that until about six months ago.
Temps of 105° for a few months don't seem to harm them for some reason. But then, pecan is the Texas state tree.
I was surprised too....hell, 105 ain't nothing when it comes to heat (here).
I love um to....put them in smoothies with other things.
Last year, we sold about 700 pounds of pecans, just from our 6 trees. Some years, we do better.
Oh...I also put pecans in my (flourless) banana pancakes....incredible...!
Holy shit....that's a LOT of pecans...!
I'd be in heaven with that many pecans
The only nuts on our farm are me and my wife. 
You'd probably freak out a bit if you saw us with several plastic totes full of pecans. Even more so, if you saw the giant plastic sacks they dump those totes into. Last season, we got between 50 and 75 cents per pound, which is a decent price, until you see the prices charged at stores for them.
Hmmmmm....Flourless banana pancakes sound delicious
Indeed....the price of pecans is about the same as macadamia's
I love macadamia's. I just can't buy any anywhere around. If I want them, I have to order them online.
Smash up six bananas, two eggs...add a teaspoon of vanilla, half a teaspoon of baking soda....come out tasting like no other pancake I've had.
One of my special recipes is for pumpkin pecan pie. Make a pumpkin pie the way you ordinarily would, but stir crumbled up pecans into the mix. Yum yum.
Those look great too now I'm getting hungry
That sounds good too Sarah
You'll like um, and cheap to make....the older the banana, the sweeter the pancakes are.
If I'm in a store, and remember to ask the produce guy if they have any old banana about ready to toss...I ask for. Have have gotten so many I had to throw half away.
Oh yeah....delish....!!
One year, we accidentally had a pumpkin vine grow. We got one really nice pumpkin out of it. I made 5 pies from scratch with it. Pecans went into every one of them, and nothing went to waste.
You ever try using coconut flour in them instead of the gluten free
I've tried coconut, banana, almond (flour)....nothing tastes better than just bananas.....
Sorry to bail out early, gang, but my old bod must find the pillow soon. Just too many aches these daze.
