Our black walnut trees are beginning to drop a few immature nuts to the ground now. These are just right for making some early ink that is rich in sugars (and probably thousands of other organic compounds) and thick enough for my juicier dip pens and not-so-friendly paper. Last year's walnut ink is beginning to look a bit mousy and so over the side it goes, to be replaced with the warmer toned fresh stuff.
