Walnut Season

Walnut season

Walnut season

How I love this time of year

Walnuts fall to the ground

Loved ones gathered round

We go out in the pickup truck and ATV

Buckets in tow

Sacks in hand

Picking up all the walnuts that we can

We go out to the walnut tree

Gather all the walnuts we see

Then we pull branches all around

Knocking more walnuts to the ground

I set buckets upon the Earth

I pick up walnuts with my hat

Then I empty my hat into the bucket

Sometimes we’re on hands and knees

Sometimes we use a rolling stick

Boy that little basket makes the job go quick

Walnut season
