[Magdalen] Sic Transit Gloria Mundi.

[Charles Wohlers]

No black walnuts in VT (but they should survive there in Zone 4), but we do 
have a hyuuuuge black cherry tree, and the cherries make a racket on the 
metal roof.

What we do have (which you don't) are those great big WHOOOMPH!s when snow 
falls off the roof in the early Spring. That grabs your attention, fer sher.

they have a very large walnut tree (maybe 20 feet from our house) - right
over a storage garage with a metal roof. Sometimes hard to sleep at night
