Oak Trees


We have lots of oak trees on our property, and the house is surrounded by 50-60 foot tall oaks.  The weather has changed recently, and every time the breeze blows, acorns drop.

The acorns drop from 60 feet up and bounce off the roof and then the deck. Do you know how loud that is? Loud enough to wake us up at night. It was disconcerting at first, but now we're getting used to the constant thunks.

We do have to be careful when we spend time outside, though. We've had several near misses with falling acorns while putting stuff in and out of the vehicles. I'm just waiting for the thunk on my head....

A small portion of the acorns that have fallen- I sweep them off, and they just keep falling.
