Words can be so much fun and it's like a game to come up with ones that fit. If it's silly, that's a bonus. Well, our dog might not agree - after a long, messy drink, she gets called Tinker Sloppychops. ;~P
I credit Steemit with the success of both projects. I doubt if I would have tackled them to begin with, let alone had pictures, if the blog wasn't in the mix. This exercise has brought home the importance of those pictures - motivation and inspiration to do more & do it even better next time!
Thank you for the link! I will definitely check it out. They're all over the place here and grow startlingly fast! Plus, they're dang dangerous to walk under when dropping their 'seeds'. Those things are almost the size of a baseball and heavy. Too bad I can't sell them - I have plenty. Lol!
Black walnuts are prized here in KY and fetch a good dollar. I remember as a child (I'm 64) that us kids got to drive the car over the walnuts in the drive way after Dad piled them up for us. It was something we looked forward to all year.
I understand the dropping "seeds", lol. I have large oak and hickory trees surrounding my house. Sometimes it sounds like I'm being bombed when they hit my metal roof.
Oh, and I wanted to ask you because I love it. Where did you find your (I don't know what to call it) colorful paragraph separator, moving border, line divider, rainbow doohickey? I'd love to find some options.
Copy/paste that line, take out the space after http and it should work. It came from here: http://www.animatedgif.net/barslines/barslines2.shtml
This place has a collection of links for all sorts of cool goodies:

Have a blast!
Yay! Thank you.
I've never gathered them deliberately, but I do enjoy the final product.
I just checked and they are paying $15 per 100 lbs, unhusked! The nearest drop off is about an hour & half away. Now you've got me thinking... Thanks!!
