Acorns
I have never seen so many acorns as we have this year. My yard is covered and they are still falling. With this wind it sounds like it is hailing on my roof. Friggin unbelievable racket.

I don't have nearly as many acrons as in that past: I cut down the oak trees!

 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

Just think how many of those little jems will be buried by the rodent population and forgotten, only to sprout within the next year?

someone told me that these things go in cycles too. I'm sure it has something to do with the hot summer we had as well. I had more pine cones this spring than I can remember. I think the pine cone thing goes in 5 or 6 year cycles.  |

We need a little "Chip & Dale" action to counteract all the acorns!
(If I'm not mistaken, it's a Disney gem with Donald Duck, the chipmunks and house full of acorns!)

Plenty of acorns this year, but not one hickory nut.
Last year i spent an hour everyday blowing them off my lawn.  |

made him decide to find greener pastures elsewhere........

Acorns
I thought it was just me but I too have a chit load all over my backyard and a huge concentration by my shed.I figured it was just the chipmunks hording them for the burrows
I once heard that when theres an over abundance of pine cones on the trees it would indicate a long snowy winter,does the same hold for acorns? |

it might be...
Due to the fact we've had a dry summer/ and fall "thus far" for rain accumulation the oaks might bear more fruit...(acorns) because the
Rot factor is lower and more will germinate come spring.
Nature always compensates for certain weather conditions.

man I would have thought they would have all come down by now but it is gusting out there today and they are coming down on the roof in droves. You need a hard hat to walk around in my yard today. I now have an acorn driveway instead of a crushed stone one.
