Almonds

The almond tree has thousands of fruit nearing harvest. Today, with the storms, we have had some serious wind gusts. Normally, the almonds are harvested by shaking the tree to knock the almonds down to the ground. Due to today's wind the amount of almonds dropping is even more than we've had lately. I had only a few minutes to collect them before practice this evening. Despite that, my collection bucket was overflowing and I had to leave some in a pile as I collected over 250 almonds before I headed out.
