Today I went down the lane of my place and decided to pick some pecans. I am blessed to live on a small amount of acreage and the backside of the property is covered in pecan trees. I have been on vacation this week and the cabin fever has set in. I hopped on that four wheeler and took off down the trail to the back of the property.
I took two Dollar General store bags with me. I found a tree that had some pretty small pecans. I started filling my bag and then I realized that there was a whole in my sack. I tied the sack where the hole was. Then I started putting pecans back in the sack. I was brushing against some briars as I was picking the pecans. I then realized that the thorns were tearing holes in the bag.
I went further down the lane and came to a bigger tree. I got off the four wheeler and went to look for more pecans. I hit the mother load. I was picking up the pecans and everywhere I turned there were more. I kept trying to pick them up and more would show up on the ground. Guess what. There was another hole in my bag. I got the second bag out of my pocket and filled about half a bag full.
All in all I was glad to get out of the house and go enjoy the day. The picture of the squirrel on top of a nut is to show how nutty I can be. I found this treasure on my antique outing this weekend. He was a steal. He was in a box full of random items that I got for $5.00.
He also reminds me of how my brain works…pecan picking… Look, there’s a squirrel.
Hello, my name is Dinky. This is a name given to me in my first marriage. It is my grandma name. A few other selected individuals address me as such. I am a onetime divorced, one-time widowed single woman trying to discover the real me. I will take you on my journey. Read if you are interested.
I feel that I am a hard knock educated person. I have been a working mother, a stay-at-home wife, a Christian, a caretaker, and a retired woman. I am always seeking wisdom on how to improve as a person and hopefully I can share as I learn more.
I have many interests. I enjoy cooking because I enjoy eating. I am not a great cook but am eager to try new recipes. I will share these with you. I have a degree in business management and a certification in food science. I have worked man years in the food manufacturing industry.
I also have a small farm. I have some cows, a donkey, some wild horses a bull and two dogs. I would like to explore more homesteading techniques and become self-sustained. Maybe we can learn together. I encourage your input and ideas.
I have spent many years learning how to make quilts. This is another hobby I would like to get back into. I am always up to learn new crafts and explore new projects.
I am really big on goal setting and finding ways to make my life simpler. I will take you through some of my ideas on that progress.
Lastly, but biggest on my list is that I am a Christian in continual growth mode. I will never be all that I should, and I will never judge people in regard to their own journey. I am always open for discussion on this topic.
If you find my talks interesting, feel free to follow me. If I say or write anything offensive feel free to call me out. I am up for improvement and self-growth.
Welcome to learning about me and helping me in my self-discovery.
