Gathering Hickory Nuts

We had a hard frost this past week and the hickory nuts are falling.   Each nut hits the ground with a loud "ka-thunk".  We joke that we should be wearing hard hats.

The outer husks bloom like flowers, revealing the nuts hiding inside their shells.

It doesn't take long to fill a basket.

We have plenty.  Hickory Nut Tarts sound good.
