Our Walnut Tree

We have a Walnut Tree in our back yard that is at least 100 years old, it drops little furry things in the spring and tons of walnuts and leaves in the fall. Robert & Scott are usually the ones to mow the leaves and seperate the walnuts. It goes on for about a month or so. This is from the beginning of the week when Scott could use the leave picker upper and get them. The next step is the lawn mower because there are too many. Randi wasn't too sure if she likes sitting in the leaves, but did like helping me pick up the walnuts. It's a great shade tree in the summer, and we don't have a problem giving the walnuts away.

What a fun tree. We have never lived anywhere long enough to have a tree grow big enough to shed leaves.
