Thanks for the compliment, we love living here.
Yes, the pecans are messy, you don't want to park a car under them for very long... the sap builds up and gets very hard. Out behind us is also pecan trees, but they are native and the nuts are small and tough.
We also had a 70+ year old, 4 trunk, red oak in the front yard, but it fell on the house just about a year ago, so no more acorns in the pool.

The "kids" are 31, 33 & 42, long gone... just me and the DW bouncing around in 5 bedrooms and I am now the pool and hot tub boy.
Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving, I know we are truly blessed and have much to be thankful for.
God bless the USA and the troops that keep us safe.
