A Heavyweight Nut

My stomach started rumbling right after that snail-pacing workout, so I jogged along the patio edge to scout some hearty fuel! Right under the tall wooden fence, a massive brown walnut was wedged between two damp roots. Its shell was craggy and rock-hard like solid armor! I dropped into a wide horse stance, gripped the ridged seam with both hands, and heaved upward with all my might. My boots dug deep into the garden mulch, sending loose bark flying! The nut groaned, popped loose with a sharp thud, and rolled right into my lap. Man, cracked or not, this is going to be one epic prize to haul around!
