Walnuts!

Once upon a time my father brought home an English walnut seedling. It was bird planted off of my grandparents' tree. That little seedling grew up over the next 30+ years and every year at this time it drops nuts. Lots of nuts.

Walnuts are messy and they require some work. On Sunday, Mom and I gathered, washed and put out to dry almost 6 gallons of walnuts. They were added to the stash my parents had already gathered. And this will keep going for a another week or two. Luckily, the family likes walnuts, and Mom will used almost all of them.
