First the Wall then the Nuts

It's a great mission project: pick up walnuts. Toss them in a wagon. Deliver them for money to raise funds for missions! We have walnuts on our place. Lots of them. I thought if I waited just a few more days, more nuts would fall. Then I would only have to do the job just once. In the mean time, as I hate to waste time, I decided to finish the rock wall at the base of first terrace on the right side. But the rocks are in a pickup box trailer 1/2 an acre away. My hot rod Craftsman is locked in the shop and the master of the house has the key in Omaha. So....the childrens' trusty Red Flyer drudged up hill and down with one load after another of carefully selected rock to finish the project. When I hefted that big one (on the corner) into the wagon, I feared the axels would break; or bend in half at the very least. But that little thirty year old red wagon held up like a trooper.
It took me a couple of hours in all. By the time the wall was finished, so was I. That was last Saturday. The walnuts are waiting. Tomorrow morning, the little red wagon that helped to build the wall, will haul away the nuts.
