Took a break from digging holes today to gather a few hickory nuts, gathered a couple big buckets full. This is an awesome seasonal treat. Stu http://s165.photobucket.com/albums/u64/hemlock77/

I was going to make a joke about it's voice changing and it's starting to grow hair too, but luckily I'm above that sort of thing....

Hey Stu!!

Stu, Thanks for posting that pic of the hickory! When Natalie and I were in our forest marking trees for the future house, we came across this type of tree frequently. Natalie had a handy fold-out chart about tree identification that she got at a Border's Books and we matched these trees as closely as we were able to be Hickory. Now that you posted that pic, it validated our identification. I guess we won't be cutting those down if they can feed us!

Glad it was helpful. Shelling the nuts are a lot of work, but it is so worth it. That reminds me, I have to go collect another batch before the squirrels take em all.Stu
