harvesting nuts...wallnuts.

Intr-o simbata frumoasa, cu voie buna si chef de munca am pornit spre mosie la cules de nuci. Totul incepe de aici :
In a very nice saturday, with much joy and happiness we left to our holdings for picking nuts ( wallnuts). The story begin from here : 

dupa citeva minute cosuletul incepe sa se umple

after a few minutes the basket begins to full 

si sa se umple....si spatele meu incepe sa doara....dar este doar inceputul...vor fi zeci de cosulete de strins...

and to full....my back is starting to feel hurt....but this is just the beginning, it will follow tens of baskets to fill....

din cauza secetei, anul acesta nucii au fost batuti cu o bota de alun...nucile nu mai crapa singure, ramin in coaja, se innegresc si putrezesc...de aici si operatiunea de "dezghiocare" manuala ce a urmat .Deci nucile sunt batute cu bota....

because of the drought, this year we have to beat the nuts with a long hazelnut stick...the fruits doesn't crack for themselves, but they are going black and begin to rot...from here the necessity to beat them down from the tree still being yet green and after then we have to "undress" them. So, the nuts are beaten with the stick : 

de catre un fermier aratos ;)...fermierul meu aratos :))

by a handsome farmer ;)...my handsome farmer :))

apoi dupa multa munca ti se face foame....mere, mure....nuci...si toate astea in timp ce admiram peisajul inconjurator....suntem totusi in virf de deal .

after so much and hard work you get hungry...apples, blackberries, nuts.....all these admiring the surrounding landscape...we are still in the top of the hill....

si mere :

and apples : 

asa am descoperit si nuca uriasa de anul acesta , aproape cit palma de mare...

this way we discover the giant nut of this year, almost as large as his hand is....

 apoi o binemeritata pauza cu peisajul in fata ochilor

then a sweet relax flying ( only in mind) above all 

si incet-incet s-a strecurat si seara...

slowly the evening come....the dark is near close so we must hurry at home....

inca o zi s-a sfirsit...o alta urmeaza....

one more day ends...another one will come ....
