I loved the weekend weather in the walnut grove. The air was warm enough for comfort and the sun flirted around the edges of the clouds all day Saturday.

Well, there was the part where 30 mph winds kept a steady rain of nuts falling onto whatever surfaces, sometimes very noisily. That was prior to the sunset thunderstorm that forced cooking inside over a propane fire instead of an open fire of hardwood logs.

Sunday morning had a brand new crop of dead fall to go into the campfire pile.
