Almond Pickers
-
We spread tarps under the trees to catch the almonds
-
To harvest, you hit the almond tree with the whomping stick
-
Then you try to remember not to look up, because dozens of hard-shelled almonds come raining down on your head
-
Gene does some whomping
-
WHOMP!
-
Katy forgets not to look up
-
Later, we try climbing into the tree and shaking the almonds out
-
SHAKE!

Kim prepares to whomp for me
