Cracking John's Nuts with a Hammer
I know how that headline sounds, but you're looking now aren't you? I husked the bushel of black walnuts this afternoon. After they dry for a few days in the back of the truck I'll put them in the flat-rate box and send them off to John.
Nuts spread out on the back of the truck to dry.
Sundown came to see what was up.
We found a baby snapping turtle walking across the parking lot at tractor supply.
We brought him home. When he gets bigger we'll introduce him into the local ecosystem. They are indigenous so the environmental impact won't be too bad. His name is Larry.

ReplyDeleteSo now you have Larry Lunch and Larry Dinner? :-)
ReplyDeleteThe mini's are so cute!
We couldn't figure out what to feed the turtle (Lisa said his name was Fred) so we took him over to the pond and released him. Big pond, little turtle, but it has to be better odds than the parking lot of Tractor Supply.
