The last major (Category 3+) hurricane to track into Georgia was the Georgia Hurricane of 1898 ....Since that time, no major hurricanes have made landfall in Georgia or have tracked into Georgia at major hurricane strength.

Looks like pumpkin pie this Thanksgiving.

That's okay. I like pumpkin pie.

We’re here on the GA/AL border. You can generally find pecan trees growing in the wild. I’ve got a two year old sapling in a pot on the front porch. It just sprouted a couple of years ago. We figure it was likely a squirrel was in the woods around the house, and buried it in the pot for the winter, then forgot about it. If I can find another one or two, I’ll start a grove.

That’s what I was thinking. I will have to go buy my pecans tomorrow before the prices rise.

Pecan Pies for Christman Gifts may be much more expensive this year. There aren’t many substitutes for that distinctive flavor of roasted pecans.

There, I fixed your very careless wording. This is tragic news, but we will just have to spend whatever it takes for pecans this year.

Yep. You’re right about that.
Either you’ve got the pecans or you don’t.
Alcohol based flavoring extract is a poor man’s substitute for the real thing.

Now I’m thinking about Pecan Sandies.
Still thinking...

Walnut Trees have some beautiful blossoms in the springtime.
There are lots of Walnut trees along certain neighborhoods in this area of San Rafael. They are used for ornamental purposes, since they never grow very tall.

The blossom looks quite a bit like Wisteria.
Clusters of bright purple flowers that hang down like jewelry. The Hummingbirds and Bluebirds like them.

Geez. My son loves having a couple of pecan pies Thanksgiving to New Years. It’s probably gonna cost an arm and a leg.
