The grassy areas, down gravel paths, on terracotta brick patios, embedded in oyster shells, wedged in cracked concrete crevices....
Apples and walnuts in every square inch of backyard garden.. love the fruits - not the mess
It's our seasonal bane - squirrels and their Waldorf buffet..
We rarely get a taste of one of the walnuts from our beautiful tree..
Found a drying screen at a yard sale, and when we're able we pick some of the fruit early and place the screen over the nuts out in the sun to dry them. {I've posted this pic before}
You've seen this unsightly shot once.. well, you wouldn't want to relive what these downed Golden Delicious beauties smell like once they've sat on the ground in the sun for a few days...
APPLE CIDER -{ ish } is putting it nicely...
As much as we like watching the antics of the furry little creatures using our tree as a jungle gym.. sure wish they'd bring along their cleaning lady once in awhile..
This lil' guy is happy with any droppings...
It's been said many a time, and here I go again, I'm contemplating a treatment for the tree next spring that will cause the fruits not to produce.
It may just send the squirrels packing....
No more Waldorf salad buffet....
