Planting acorns
While at the nursery a few weeks back, I picked up a few Chincapin oak acorns that had fallen to the ground...deep rich lustrous cocoa brown, almost black..well, over time the black faded to light brown and today I noticed the shells were splitting, so I opened all of them and buried the acorn meat into our yard..I figure the squirrels will find them over the winter (what winter?)but if one of them sprouts a tree, I'll be happy...I felt like Johnny Appleseed, pressing little acorn bits into the ground...
My internet connection is misbehaving today...it connects, then drops, then reconnects...so I'm gettting mail, but its coming in spurts...so if you don't hear from me for a while, I might not have seen your mail, but I'll get to it eventually...
Time to get back to the torch...should be interesting to say the least!
