A Little Jingle in Honor of Almond Harvest

In the Central Valley September signifies harvest and the season of almond tree shaking (aka season of sneezing, poor driving visibility and having to dust every other day). Here's a little rhyme Ella learned in school (she added the prop on her own at home).


"Two little almonds high in the tree.

Two little almonds looking at me.

I shook the almond tree as hard as I can.

Down came the almonds, crack!

And mmm mmm were they good."

Ella is too cute. I love her voice. Is it wrong to hope it never changes? :)

Love always,

Whenever we get sad that you live so far away, I think about what awesome opportunities are out there for you and the girls! What a fun celebration! This song is very cute and Ella singing it? ADORABLE! She should lead the parade! love always, Auntie Karen

Almond HARVEST and Almond BLOSSOM are actually two different things. Right now it's harvest and in the spring is when the trees bloom so beautifully-- also when the parade is.

Look at all the agricultural lessons you learn from your Central Cali relatives! :)
