A huge crop this year. The old-timers say this means it will be a hard winter.
At least the bears will have plenty to eat and won't have to come to town, or even climb trees.
It was like walking when you come ashore after being on a boat. The ground kind of rolled beneath your feet as you got used to the ball-bearing feeling of these acorns underfoot.
And of course the maples are beginning to turn as well.
And dogwoods.
Great photos B. They would have been tricky to walk on. Where we were yesterday the chestnuts had fallen everywhere, dozens of them. All I could think of was "ankle twisters". Lovely to see the dogwoods at this stage, and the leaves on the ground. So pretty!
