WALNUTS

I like walnuts, seriously. It takes a lot of crushed walnuts to make baklava which is one of my favorite deserts to make. I also like the memories of holiday nut mixes and using a nutcracker to get the goodies inside. The walnuts required the pick as well.
However, I also hate walnuts.



These things are everywhere. Our driveway, our road are both lined with walnut trees. They are a hazard on the motorcycle and stain the roadway black where they've been run over. Just walking through the yard the odds of stepping on one of these hard round balls are pretty darn high. The rotting shells are a danger to dogs and the nuts inside attract squirrels which drives the dog crazy!
Soon, the leaves will all change, leading into the winter snow and the walnuts will be forgotten for another year, but for the moment, we have WALNUTS!!!
