Wonderful memories! Why do they seem sweeter and more simple when we look back? I guess it’s our maturity which makes it so. I relate to picking out walnuts. Very hard to do. We lived next door to my grandparents from the time I was born until I was 5 years old and was always next door at my grandma and grandpa’s house. They had a fig tree, a walnut tree, and a loquat tree. I remember that I liked to climb on the fig tree because it had big knuckle like places on it, almost like steps, so if your legs were long enough, you could climb it pretty easily.
Sounds yummy!

Loved your childhood memories as well. I think it is good to remember these types of things as it reminds us that they exist.
