Nuts
People don't believe me when I try to explain about my black walnut tree and the volume of nuts it produces. The photo shows the nuts that I have collected so far this season. It does not include those nuts eaten by the wildlife in the neighborhood, those nuts crushed by cars and those nuts still on the tree. I collects nuts yesterday for 2-1/2 hours. Today, I collected nuts in the morning and in the afternoon. There are still quite a few nuts still on the tree, but the bulk of them are down.

Fall
We've had a bit of cool rainy weather the last week or so. No freeze yet, so the leaves are still green. Some are showing a hint of color. The black walnuts are falling like rain. I've been picking up daily but it seems like they will never stop. Even though it is fall, I am still enjoying my flowers on my front porch. The yellow marigolds are great summer and fall flowers.
