Words for Wednesday...Looks like a bumper crop of...

acorns this year! We live in an old neighborhood with lots of trees. We have a 100+ year old oak in our front yard so acorns are to be expected. Some years we have more than others...these two pictures are from four years ago and I'm betting this year will be on par with 2008. Eventually, Andy will blow them all in to big piles so he can begin to shovel them in to a yard waste container. The reality is that we won't be able to get up half of what will fall. The rest will sprout and we'll be pulling them up next spring. When they fall it sounds like artillery fire. Thankfully, over the years Samson has gotten use to it and doesn't bark ballistically anymore every time one hits the house. A sign of the changing seasons for sure. :)
