National Pecan Day!

... feeling a little NuTty???
Maybe it's because today is National Pecan Day!

Now I usually don't like sweets... and rarely eat them... but in honor of this nutty day, I thought I'd make an exception.

little tidbit: Did you know that the pecan tree is the only nut tree native to North America?? ok..neither did I until I looked it up...
