The first year we lived in our house, we were barraged with acorns in the fall. Really, no exaggeration!! You needed to wear a hard hat when you went into the back yard! And the clank when they hit the metal top of the shed was so loud! Then for the last three fall seasons, we've wondered where all the acorns went. We've had almost none!Well, They'rrrrreeeeee Baaaaacckkkk!!!
I don't know what determines whether or not we get acorns. The summer heat? the previous winter's snowfall? rain amounts? We've had plenty of all of the above, so I don't know.
But this year, we are getting acorns by the bucket fulls, literally, as you can see, and Daddy and Jocelyn are having a good time collecting them. Most of the acorns are big and fat, and missing their "hats", but here's one I found that was ready and waiting for the collection.
