1 more picture and a text note above! :)

The acorns are falling from the trees all over the property, and birds like blue jays and acorn woodpeckers are carrying them to our roof and pounding away at them, sounding like miniature jack hammers! :D Just this afternoon a bird was hammering away on an acorn placed on one of our metal rain gutters and the dogs all started barking and growling because they thought someone was at the door! ROFLMAO!!! :D So funny!!! With that in mind, I went out today to get a picture of an acorn to share! This one is from a White Oak Tree...I think I will try to get a picture of a Black Oak Tree acorn on the tree too! :)

Ralph Waldo Emerson (May 25, 1803 – April 27, 1882) was an American essayist, lecturer, and poet, who led the Transcendentalist movement of the mid-19th century. He was seen as a champion of individualism and a prescient critic of the countervailing pressures of society, and he disseminated his thoughts through dozens of published essays and more than 1,500 public lectures across the United States.
