    Besides Vegas the only place I went this summer was the beach. It was probably the best summer beach trip I've been on, wasn't crowded at all.

    Oh wow, I would have been one of the first parents to volunteer. What a great experience. Lucky you!

    I wondered. My neighbour has one that hangs over our fence.

    They are beautiful trees.

    I have the same situation, a neighbor has a black walnut tree with several branches hanging onto my side. In late June they can be harvested and turned into a liqueur called Nocino, only I think I harvested too late and it didn’t turn out too well.

    Ok, this is a July pic aboard the Hornblower- formerly Maid of the Mist. Visitors to Niagara Falls, will know it as the boat that takes them right up to the Falls.

    What is once in a lifetime cool here, is that when we booked in Stage 2 Covid, there was a 20 person capacity for this 700 person ship.

    Except... for our trip, we THREE, were the only ones on board, beside the crew! 3138A651-AC94-4F35-9E10-BB0B6F7B165F.jpeg

    I've lived here for years and just always raked up the fallen walnuts in the spring and never thought much of it. Many nuts fall in autumn but by spring, squirrels have carted most of them away

    This year, because of Covid, I've spent more time chatting with the neighbours .Every time I mention I might try to harvest the neighbours fallen walnuts - just for fun and something to do - they've recommended against it.

    I looked at the recipe for Nocino and do recall out of boredom, cutting in to a fallen walnut in July. The shell was soft. Two weeks later when I cut in to a walnut, the shell was hard. I was surprised at the difference over 2 weeks.

    Thank you for mentioning this. I've never heard of it but will definitely put it on my list for fun stuff to try next summer!

    We all need something to look forward to. :beer:

    The first step on a road trip is starting to corral your stuff ...

    Because of "these uncertain times," we chose to drive to a vacation destination this year. Usually do a condo when at the beach, but splurged on a cottage in Holden Beach, NC. Arrived today and so far so good.

    For those who noticed I have not been posting in this thread anymore, I have not gone anywhere and I have not done anything fun for some time.

    Now when the colors start showing, I will be taking some photo drives!

    I noticed someone posting about Niagara Falls, so I decided to present a shot of The Big Puddle when I went back home to Buffalo to visit my folks:
