A lot of people think of October as the beginning of fall, kids look forward to Halloween..... I call it raking season. Our yard is HUGE and it takes a lot of work to keep it nice. These pictures just do not do it any justice, there were mounds and mounds of leaves and walnuts.
We have a black walnut tree and this year saw a bumper crop of walnuts. It was dangerous to be under the tree becuase walnuts were literally raining down. Of course, the squirrels love it, but Misty and Pancho go crazy over the squirrels.
Up close, walnuts in different stages of decay. They are bigger than golf balls, have a wonderful citrus scent, but be careful, they stain your clothes and hands red. If walnuts weren't so difficult, time consuming and labor intensive to harvest, I could be eating my own walnuts instead of buying them at the store.
