| The dog was making shadow puppets on the road. |
Friday morning the air was cool in the mid 50's with nice mostly clear skies. The dog and I walked up to the Turnip green field to have a look at their progress. When we arrived we found the greens are now enormous. They are so green they hurt your eyes to look at. More are being harvested as this is the time of the year everyone likes to have greens for supper.

| One more sunny day for these greens. |
People here say that greens are not good to eat until they have had a frost fall on them so I guess they should be ready now. I love fried greens with hot buttered cornbread and butter beans.
We crossed the street to walk on the dirt road beside a former watermelon field. There are some pecan trees along the road and only one of them has produced any pecans.

| A good looking example of a pecan. |
I had to crack open a good many pecans before I could find a good one. I think these trees have suffered from the fungus that made most of the pecan trees in this area loose their leaves and nuts earlier this year.

| The dog always pays attention to me when I have pecans. |
Once the dog heard me cracking and eating the pecans he came running. He really likes eating them and he will sometimes crack them himself although he much prefers that I do it because then he doesn't have to eat any of the shells which are bitter. I really like freshly shelled pecans in blueberry muffins. They are really good to warm you up on a cold morning or evening. I wonder if I have any of that Martha White muffin mix at home. Thanks for reading my blog today. Bye.
