We had a chestnut throwing contest today. After all was said and done I emerged champion so I took my winning chestnut with me. I had forgotten that I put it in my pocket. When I got back to my room from dinner, I was emptying my pockets and I found the nut. It's definitely hard. The color, however, is such a rich brown. To me it looks like a very large hazelnut. The top is chalky white and the shell is very woody. There's a concentric pattern coming from part of the shell that look like the rings on the inside of a tree. It reminds me of when you see exposed roots in the ground that have been weathered and stepped on. Honestly I find a lot of beauty in this insignificant nut. Also,I find it quite fascinating how this little thing can make trees so huge.
