Walking, neighbourhood

 

Looking for black walnut trees

 

By the door, waiting

 

Walking through the neighbourhood with our children, Chloe and I talked about the Eastern Black Walnut Tree Juglans nigra. We saw so many half eaten nut on the ground but couldn't locate the tree or trees. (It has medicinal and spiritual properties, makes lovely wood floors and furniture).

 

Then coming home, there was a whole black walnut fruit wedged into the bench by the door. Chloe recently lost her uncle, and, here was a message from spirit. Very likely, a squirrel carried it to our front door.

 

This is what the fruit looks like, though the picture above is of the actual walnut we peeled.

 

 

So used to these signs; we just register them and move on.
