We have a bunch of nuts around here,
besides Jim and Cody!
Our backyard hosts a walnut tree!
I've never seen one and it is interesting to observe
the end of the growing process.
Jim cracked a few open for me to put
into our brownies!
Mmmm...
In this pile of nuts you can see a dark shelled nut.
This is a husk that covers what we know as the walnut.
They begin to crack open, kind of like opening
a peapod and inside is the hardened shell
of the walnut.
Earlier this fall I began hearing loud thunks
around our house. It took a couple of days to
realize that walnuts were falling and hitting
the roof of the workhouse in our backyard!
It was quite loud and startling especially in
the early morning hours. This represents a
small portion of what ended up in our lawn.
Jim said we've had a barrels worth of nuts.
haha! cool!
