Harris Hillcrest Farms Slideshow and More

    I went and helped Ronald today. We dug up a water line that had a busted valve and put in a new valve. and then he asked me to help him pick some black walnuts. He has a sore shoulder and couldn't reach up to dump the buckets of walnuts into the containers on the back of his truck. I took the above photos while we were coming back across the pond bank.
 


    This little fella was under the tree that  we were going to pick up the black walnuts.  Woodchucks (Groundhogs) are normally very afraid but this young one let me get within ten feet of him.  I had never been so close to one before.  We were starting to think that maybe he had rabies or something but we figured out he was just a young moron. The black walnuts are the green orbs you see laying in the grass.  What you see is the green outside husk which is very soft (unless one falls on your head) but the inside holds a very hard wooden nut and the edible fruit is inside that.

I have never fished it but I understand that it has channel catfish. I do not happen to like catfish so I have never tried to fish it.
