Nut Timing
Bang, crash, thud... went the days and nights around home, and around the trails.
It is neat to hike amongst the rain of nuts.
A week ago, on Saturday evening, I swept my deck free of acorns, walnuts and such. The next morning, I counted over 60 new nuts deposited overnight. That was the peak of a week-long happening: Every year, in one week, all the nut-bearing trees drop their nuts, all together. All. And then the squirrels go into overtime, looking like a Disney movie.
Today was quiet and beautiful. The nut-dropping week is over. Fantastic! Bravo!
