Rain ~ Pretty Sky ~ Tamales ~ Stuff


 
Good 41ยบ raining morning. The winds started up last night and hit about 40mph! In the middle of the night the rain started and at 5am it was POURING! So far we've gotten 1/2"!
 
 
Outside yesterday and my seasonal creek is wayyyyyy down... Earlier this year you could kayak in it!!
 
The sky was pretty yesterday when the sun was coming over the mountain....

 
Lunch/Dinner was some tamales I found in the freezer. I sliced them open lengthwise, poured on some green enchilada sauce, and added a bunch of cheese! Heated in the microwave. OMGOOOOOOOD!!

April 14th
National Pecan Day

Pecan Day is a rather nutty day. Its a day to celebrate and enjoy popular, tasty pecans. Apparently, someone thought that it was such a great nut, that they created two days to celebrate Pecans. One in March, and the other in April. A little nutty perhaps, but true. 
 
Name the only nut tree native to North America. ... You guessed it........ Pecan trees.
 

Celebrate Pecan Day and National Pecan Day by cracking open and eating a few pecan nuts. Also, have some pecan pie.
