harvest

The month of March
is the best time to collect
all the pecans that fall
from our tree.

As has become tradition,
we call in the laborers,
Parker and Grace.
Oliver used a stick
to keep them in line.

We pay a penny per pecan
which really motivates Parker,
Grace not so much.

The night they stayed over
also happened to be
St. Patrick's Day.
We had a leprechaun
visit us during the night
and leave some gold
and for breakfast we had
green pancakes.

Then in the afternoon,
after we went to the
Dollar Store and cashed
in on pecan money,
we made some
rainbow cupcakes.
Thanks for the suggestion Kaicie.

Thanks to all of
Parker's and Grace's
hard work,
we now have
bags and bags of pecans!
