Acorns, acorns, acorns
What a year for acorns! I can't remember when I've had so many. It's been like a hailstorm all week and the ground is covered with them--enough to have to rake them.
Last year we had not a single one, as bizarre as the huge quantity this year. In fact, the last few years have been very light on acorns. There has always been an ebb and flow to acorn production but not as dramatic as the last two years.
I was going to post this and ask what you were experiencing in your various parts of New England but today's Globe has a front-page article about the huge acorn crop this year, as well as what we will be facing with the impact on the animal population, from chipmunks to hawks. So how is it where you live?
