Oh the gum balls!

We spent time on the island today cutting up part of the pecan tree that came down. Hubby worked on that while I worked on the leaves. It was a beautiful day to work in the yard. However, my future looks bleak when I look up. The red wing blackbirds are not the problem. It is the bumper crop of gum balls! We have 4 very large old gum trees loaded to the max! They will start to fall next month.
