You know you live in a small town when farmers pay you to pick up their pecans. Ok that may not be a small town thing but it is in this small town. A girl I know parents own this big farm and they have several huge pecan trees and a lot of small pecan trees on both of their properties. And they are paying both me and another guy to go out there and pick up pecans for them. We are both on different parts of the property. It does not pay much .26 a pound but it gets me out of the house and making some extra spending money for me. Yesterday I picked 40lbs but I had my youngest son out there with me part of the day. So I spent a lot of time watching out for him. But he had fun he got to see cows, horses, chickens, big gardens. Today the hubby is off from work so after lunch I can go back by myself.
Even tho it does not pay much I like it because I can be by myself for hours on end in the quiet. Well minus the cows watching and mooing at me lol. I will leave today at 9:45am to go out there (2-3miles from my house) and come back at 11:45am for lunch and to get the boy off the bus. Then I will head back by 12.30pm and work till 4:00-4:30pm. I did 40lb yesterday so today my goal is 60-80lbs. Oh and this will last at least a few weeks with all the trees out there. And if I do at least 40lb a day thats 50$ extra dollars a week. Not much but works for me.
