Works here . Not all but most .You must have soft tires OC lol

Soft driveway I think...

[labradors]

Lay your walnuts in the tire grooves of your lane way & drive over them every day till the shell pops off . Check frequently. Old fashion way .

Tried that too, didn't work, drove the butternuts in to the ground and made divots in the tires

Sounds like a fun way to plant a grove of butternut trees :).

Brings back great childhood memories of mom and dad laying black walnuts from our trees on the driveway, dad laying heavy boards over them and then driving the farm truck or tractor over the boards. Our job as kids (6 of us) was to harvest the walnut meat left on the lane. Our only source of walnuts for all the wonderful Christmas baking mom did. The rest of the year dad just cursed those trees for the mess they made etc....

I went yesterday and got the six turkeys. Two trio's, one to a neighbor and one to a 16 yr old Menonite girl, both wanted to start a turkey herd. Glad to see some people who will have them, and raise little ones. These are the first turkeys for both, but they have other poultry. Glad to see someone that will appreciate get started. The girl is who I bought chicks from this summer when I was having trouble with my broodies.

Kathy was up in the loft, taking the stairs very gingerly, moving slow even not on the stairs. Martin and I did the catching, Kathy clipped the wings . I am glad she has decided the stairs are too much. Good luck with whatever the doctors say and do my friend.

@WLLady Sounds like an awful lot of work was done. Sad to hear you have to downsize but I think you will enjoy them more if you're not having horrible pain just to feed them but hopefully your favorites will keep you happy.
