I am here to inform those of you who may be uninformed, today is the first day of November and this weekend is when we should turn our time back and hour, “Spring forward, Fall back”.
Now that I have completed my civic duty of providing needed information, I will proceed to our subject of the day which is, “acorn photos”.
Due to popular demand, I have taken a couple photos for the non-readers in our group, which may allow them to understand the magnitude of this year’s acorn crop.
The first photo shows an area that had been cleared of acorns the day before, the photo was taken. This shows that removing the acorns is a never ending job for the grounds manager.
This area has little grass as it only gets sunlight in the very early morning. The grounds manager will be incorporating this area into the Jasmine bed during the winter months, if it ever gets cold, or when the red blocks go on sell. Being on a fixed income, the purchase of items that are deemed to be non-essential must be postponed until there is a sale.
The next photo was taken yesterday, also in a flower bed area that gets little sunlight. You will see a carpet of acorns. Now use your imagination and visualize this amount of acorns hidden in the grass areas. (In an effort to provide full transparency, you see I am trying to be politically correct, the following photo is of an area were acorns that have fell on the house, roll off the roof and gather on the ground. The grass may not have quite this many acorns.) Click on the photo to enlarge.
I must go supervise the acorn removal in the front yard, I hope you have a good day!
May your day not be filled with acorns!
