A Walk in the Woods

Welcome to my favorite fall hiking spot.  We come here every year to pick up pretty leaves for wax pressing.  This year we left the leaves, but came for acorns instead (did you know that you can eat them?)  These acorns aren't for eating, but for planting.  It seems like a simple enough process, so we're going to give it a shot.  Maybe in about 75 years there will be some big and shady oaks to show for it.  Talk about an investment!





This little nut didn't fit in my basket...
