I had to really dig around in my memory to pull up what they reminded me of, but I finally got it. Remember Necco wafers? We always had that candy around when I was a kid. I didn't like them, particularly, but there was 'something' about them that made us eat them. I thought the company had gone out of business, but it was bought out of bankrupcy and Necco wafers will be back. I suspect they'll still taste pretty much like your pretty pastel ovals.shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-31616922396401098682019-10-21T04:56:41.380-05:002019-10-21T04:56:41.380-05:00It is very strange that people don't take the ...It is very strange that people don't take the trouble to pick up their pecans.

I wasn't able to get outdoors because of my surgeries and they died from lack of care and water. David doesn't believe in watering anything that mother nature should be doing. I do have one question. Do you have an aphid problem with your hibiscus/rose of sharon.Leannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02313664441343901006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-5613211139586630772019-10-20T10:56:34.751-05:002019-10-20T10:56:34.751-05:00My confederate rose is looking good but none of my...My confederate rose is looking good but none of my butterfly gingers are doing anything but falling over. Just not enough sun, I'm pretty sure. <br />I can't wait to see how your feathers and flowers are going to turn out. As always- you amaze me. <br />And that IS a huge pecan tree!
