Trees Gone

The walnut trees are gone! Yipee! Can't say that I'll miss the occasional skating when you step on one of the giant marble-like nuts, nor trying to get to the back door when one leaves the house before dark with every good intention of returning while it is still light, only to get detained and we won't mention that it's hazerdous to your head - like playing Russian Roulette when they start to fall from the trees. If you've never been bonged on the head by a falling walnut you have no idea how much fun that can be. Talk about seeing stars and having a goose egg the size of a baseball on your nogging.
