What's it mean if it's all orange? You're having acorns, and we're having pinecones, more than we've ever seen too. When we were in IL we could hear the acorns continually plinking down...also discovered burr oak acorns, very interesting and wish we had a photo.Judy S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05591607125583963544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8932317.post-2966078158951869092010-10-09T07:35:26.166-04:002010-10-09T07:35:26.166-04:00This spring we had more maple seeds than I've ...This spring we had more maple seeds than I've ever seen and this fall is the same with the acorns. The squirrels are gathering nuts from our neighbor's tree and have worn a path in the the grass! I don't know what this is predicting, but I'd rather have snow than ice.Dianenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8932317.post-79598728362031882042010-10-08T10:11:01.264-04:002010-10-08T10:11:01.264-04:00Funny how you mention the acorns.

Just walking to her car is dangerous since they continue to fall on her. It will be interesting to see what kind of winter it will be.....Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660761635166286074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8932317.post-39142557983494700832010-10-08T09:56:21.637-04:002010-10-08T09:56:21.637-04:00Most people here in BC are saying we are going to ...Most people here in BC are saying we are going to have a hard winter. I think they are coming to that conclusion simply because last year was so mild (which was a bad thing given we were hosting the Olympics!). Canadians are never optimistic about the weather, and the thought of two mild winters in a row seems impossible. :-)kristieinbchttp://journeynorthof49.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8932317.post-34732653479903895732010-10-07T21:34:59.734-04:002010-10-07T21:34:59.734-04:00So Mother Nature is giving you conflicting informa...So Mother Nature is giving you conflicting information, I hope the caterpillar is right, you could use a gentle winter.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00896373909497935854noreply@blogger.com
