Nuts!!!
There's a tree in Todd's backyard...
A walnut variety...
Unlike the familiar Black Walnut...
He & Huck tried to open one...no luck with a hammer...
Resorted to a saw...
Tough little bugger...
Research indicates it's a Butternut Walnut...who knew?

Road Trip...
Began with breakfast at DiPrima Dolci Italian Bakery & Cafe...Yum!!!
We traveled down Hwy 213 past Oregon City and stopped at King's Raven Winery...
To check out the grapes...and the bees enjoying them...
Then headed to Silver Falls State Park...for a bit of a hike...
Climbed up into a little cave thinking of Trav & Taylor...past adventures... 
Beautiful Lower South Falls...
Amazing water curtain...
And found fall along the creek...
And along the trail...
Then we visited The Oregon Gardens in Silverton...
And found fall here too!!!
Me and my dear heart friend, Candace!
So much fun in one outstanding day!!!
