"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." -- Rom. 8:28
My dad used to get green walnuts from a neighbor's trees, cut open the rinds, which have a horrible smelling juice that looks like spit from chewing tobacco, and apply it to a large, scaly patch on his cheek that he called lupus. A Polish guy I worked with told me that they made a tincture with green walnut juice, mixing it with alcohol, that was an old home remedy.
When I was a kid, we used to have walnut fights in the fall before the nuts fell. We did this usually in the evening when it was just dusk and it was harder to see both the target and incoming missiles. We were made of different stuff back in the early 70's.
What kind of property do you own that you do not know what kind of trees you have? Or are these walnuts at the end of the back 40, surrounded by thorn hedges?

ReplyDeleteWe bought it March 2024. There are a lot of trees.
DeleteI just pick them up off the ground. But there's a LOT of work between there and getting edible bits of walnut meat.
