- Monday, 10/20: Nuts!
- We noticed a small patch of frost on the grass near the lane prior to sunrise this morning. It was a very windy day.
- Several robins were flying about in the morning. We suspect a number of them flew in from the north.
- Mary picked pecans twice, today, gathering a nice number of nuts. I helped in the evening by using a step ladder to collect several off branches above the first grain bin roof.
- I gathered black walnuts that fell from trees over the lane. Over two days, I collected enough in a milk crate to give me only two more inches before I need to start putting nuts in another crate. At first, I was wiping gooey husk sludge off the nuts in the grass, but it takes too much time. I've progressed to swiping the husks off the nuts in a quick backward foot motion while wearing boots with aggressive cleats. This takes less time. I feel like a bull tossing dust on his chest when I'm kicking walnut husks off the nuts. I hope to collect several milk crate loads of walnuts.
- Mary mowed several portions of the lawn and left the grass lay, instead of picking it up. Mowing goes faster with this method. I helped her by mowing the stretch just north of the house.
- We watched the sixth Harry Potter movie.
