georgia southern pecans.

we're enjoying a sunny warm day in georgia

on my dad's farm.

 he offered the kids one dollar a pound for pecans they picked up.

his method of getting them out of the tree:

 shake the limbs with the tractor.

the kids method of picking up the pecans:

 fast and furious.

any way they could.

they quickly filled the bucket.

which weighed twenty pounds.

 i have some happy kids now.

with five dollars each.

 the first house we ever owned in birmingham, alabama

had a huge pecan tree.

that tree was a good lesson on being a steward of the world around us.

we're off to ride some horses.

more later!
