We have a large walnut tree in the back yard, we discovered today that the walnuts are falling out of the husks. We picked up a few and I decided I had better find out how to harvest them so that we(I) can enjoy eating them.
I'm just listing the helpful links that I found - that way my kids can explore and learn on their own later this week.

We have another huge tree - it has very long seed pod and gigantic leaves. Grandma Mackley just came in and when I told her what I was doing she asked if I could find out what kind of tree that huge one was with the white blossoms. I don't remember the blossoms, so its a good thing that Grandma does. I found these three great websites for identifying trees. I'm sure that the kids will have fun identifying them later this week.

I'm so glad that we have decided to participate in this challenge, I've learned a lot already!
