Walnuts

Last year, for our 5th wedding anniversary, Mr Husband gave me a tree... a walnuts tree. I was expecting diamonds, but...well... nuts will do! :) I actually was surprised because I wasn't expecting anything at all. And to hear him -ussually quiet, a bit shy- having a whole speech prepared about how planting a tree together to last for years to come, was symbolic of our love... was much more than what I was expecting to come out of his mouth. So, the tree was planted. This type of trees ussually take a few years to get settled and start giving fruits (aka walnuts), but surprise! Today we harvested the first one...



Hopefully we will get more next year because we can't do much with one... split it three ways is not very easy really...

On the crafty side of life, I've been working on more illustrations and painting a couple more bags...



They will be listed in my DaWanda shop later today.
I'm off to bake a cake for my husband's grandma who turns 89 tomorrow... and to coook some Pasticio for dinner... great yummy and yet simple sicilian food.
