So many hugs to all of you, dear Johanna."

Thanks, it was hubby's grandpa's funeral yesterday. Today was much happier day, due to the Mother's Day.

Noise

Not even too much and I'm not unhappy about it: workers are here for two days to substitute my _8_ leaking skylights with new ones. No more trips upstairs to check the situation in case of heavy rain!

So your walnut is actually early then? Ours doesn't even pretend by now... ;-)
YAY on the survival of the walnut!

Does that mean we get a walnut pie?

[Antonella]

I'm glad about Mymymble's walnut tree.

Just yesterday I bought a delicious organic walnut pie, typical of the Swiss mountain region of Graubunden and I thought I should give you the recipe.

It is my second favourite thing in the world after chocolate and chocolate cake ;-).

I am happy about your tree!

The rain, that is. It's been a bit wild outside the past few days. I'm glad it's Saturday and I can stay home where it's warm and dry and quiet and read! :)

[Johanna]

Horizontal

Me, that is. :-) I survived (and so did the students!) our field trip to Helsinki, but I ended up sleeping 14 hours in a row last night after we arrived back to Oulu.

Glad to hear everyone (including the students) made it home safely and in one piece. :-)

Sounds like you needed that sleep. Wow.

[Calathea]

Blackbirds.

They're having a concert outside this evening . With the windows open I have first row seat. :-)

Another weird walnut thing is that they in our case have off and on years producing nuts sometimes loaded and others not so much

...and they have to be adults to even have nuts! We didn't know that and thought that ours just isn't a nut-producing kind. But! Last year it came through with lots and lots of walnuts. :-D

Drama

I love my family, but once in a while I really can do without the drama.😊

[Jordan]

The Hidden Life of Trees explains why they sometime have lots of seeds and sometimes don't. It also explains why single trees grow short and fat and die young compared to those in a forest.

The sounds delicious. I wonder if it similar to pecan pie?

I tried only once a pecan pie and I wasn't overly enthused.

It's not for everyone, that's for sure. It is arguably my favourite pie, however. :)

I made a pecan pie for xmas dinner a couple of years ago (in NZ) and folk were not overly excited about it. Perhaps it is an acquired taste. Some of my NZ relations found it too rich and too sweet. Dessert pies are not a big thing here, though, to start with, and I'm that strange foreigner who always makes pies for dessert. I grew up in Texas (where the pecan is the state tree :) ) and we would go out and collect pecans by the bagful every autumn, and my dad enjoyed baking, so we would have pecan pies through the winter. That combination of nuts and bourbon and butter and sugar is just so perfect to me. :)

It's one of my favorites too. Done well it's not overly sweet. My SIL does an amazing version every Thanksgiving.

Left the hose running in the pond to "top off." It topped over and I spent the last hour trying to rescue as many tadpoles and minnows as I could spot in the lawn. Really should set a timer. : (
