We have a black walnut tree in the backyard next to us & it is loaded with nuts. They are encased in a big green husk that looks like a green tennis ball. When they drop off the tree, they roll into the street where as the cars go over them they sound like gunshots. I have never seen so many as I have this year, the squirrels will be all set for the next few winters or else they will be so fat they won't be able to get out of their own way. If this is a harbinger of a bad winter, we're in for it!!
