There's a bountiful crop of walnuts again this year, it's a pity the squirrel clan don't leave them alone until they ripen fully.   I don't mind in the least them taking some as there's more than enough for us all and they are so comical to watch as they pluck the walnuts from the tree and  then go about 'planting' them in the most obscure places.   I feel like the intruder at times with the looks they give me when I disturb them.
