They Are All at My House

I've been amused at the reports of an acorn shortage in the news this year. The experts obviously haven't been to our town.

We are overrun. I'm going to be spending days picking oak seedlings out of the lawn in the spring. The kids kick them and see how many they can crush underfoot as they walk to the bus. They crunch under the wheels of the car.

The squirrels are happy.

We've got more than our share of them too. We were just complaining to our neighbors that the squirrels enjoy shaking branches over rooftops so you get an enormous cascade of acorns pounding your roof and making you leap out of your chair. Apparently, it's only in pockets of Virginia and Maryland, etc that they are missing. This is not one of those pockets.
