multiracial acorns

I love the colors that acorns come in. Also, I just like acorns. I pick up one, and then I say, "Oh, and this one. Oh, this one too. Oh that one there! Gotta have that, too." I enjoy this as much now as I did when I was six with my grandmother.

And this is a great year for acorns--as for apples, as for hickory nuts. I think the fruiting trees are anxious to reproduce; I think last year's winter made them consider their mortality or something. Anyway, the apple trees are bowed down with apples, and acorns are lining the roadside.

Once you know they're there you can shuffle them aside with the toe of your shoe. These were partly covered with fallen leaves and twigs from a recent storm, so it was a real oak surprise. I felt the trees were laughing quietly.
