Oh Nuts!

Oh Nuts about describes it.

I've been missing a few days due to a bad bout of 

diverticulitis that had me pretty much bed ridden

for a few days and in a lot of pain.  The colitis complicates

it so my vacation plans have changed.  I'll be doing 

a lot more indoor activities, and they won't be pleasant.

Just before all this I walked up the tree line of our property

to where I knew the buckeyes grow.  We have two up there

and one always has nice blooms so I figured there would be nuts.

I found one right away buried in the leaves and then

another still in it's outer shell.  

We also have hickory nuts, this one with its outer shell off,

and an assortment of acorns, this being a pretty dark one.  

The buckeye is supposed to be lucky and if you find one you

should put it in your pocket.  I'm hoping these are extra lucky!  

I'll be catching up on your blogs soon!
