Re: checking in / happy fall!

Here, we have northern pecans. Much smaller, but I think they are  
sweeter than the big pecans. I have two young trees that have just  
started bearing, but the squirrels usually beat us to the nuts.
My cats usually alert me to toys lost under the refrigerator by  
staring hard at the bottom of the appliance. If I shine a flashlight  
under it, there is always a toy and lots of cat  hair! I dutifully  
fish it out- do they ever have me trained.
