Acorn Barrage


We are under fire! Send in reinforcements!

Oops, a flashback to my war experience. Well, not really, I spent the Viet Nam War underwater. Anyway, we are getting literally pelted by acorns. They are hitting the deck about 10 a minute on the average. It is down right dangerous out there. I am running the video camera to try to catch some of the sounds of them in the trees around our property.

Good thing this only happens every other year. But then we have to contend with oak flowers all over the place on the even years. Walking on our deck is like the cave scene in The Temple Of Doom. "Feel like walking on fortune cookies"
