looks great rick even with all the troubles,, how is your pecan trees doing and how many rattlers did you deal with since you last posted remember that one you showed us that pretty big..
The pecan trees have been disappointing

, but we did get to harvest three (yep - 3) nuts this season, and two were good to eat. I think we have figured out how to manage them in the sand land, so maybe will be better going forward.
I don't remember if I told you guys about the orchard or not - a mix of apple trees, peach, pear, plum, blueberries, blackberries, and kiwi. It is doing better than the pecans, but all were neglected during the house build fiasco. Getting back on track for this coming Spring, I hope.
No more rattlesnakes have shown their face - and I have seen surprisingly few snakes over the years. A couple of rat snake now and again.
