When we moved into our house in Marion nearly 14 years ago, we loved the large tree in our yard that provided shade to most of the house. What we didn't realize is what KIND of tree it was. We learned that fall when the walnuts began to fall. I've put up with that tree for too long. This year has been a record year for walnuts on our tree. And this time, I've had enough!

They say that a walnut tree is 'on' every other year. Well, this year, ours is ON and it won't turn off! I've never seen the amount of walnuts like this before. I pick them up off of the driveway at least two times a day. I rake them up just so I can mow the yard. It's a HUGE hassle. And the worst part? They're awful, dirty, nuts! They quickly rot on the ground leaving behind their disgusting outer shell. They've stained the siding of our house and the cement of our driveway. They hit our cars and leave lovely stains on them too. I've reached the point where I don't ever want to do all of this again. So despite the shade it provides, the tree must come down!

I simply can't imagine a life without having to pick up walnuts. It would be paradise. No more stains being tracked into my house by the kid's shoes. Just a nice, clean, lawn. So if you're a fan of walnuts or the wood from the tree, hit me up! The tree must go!
