Acorns are fallin'......

Acorns are fallin’ on my head day ‘n nite......well, not literally but they’re sure fallin’ on my roof....’n in my yard ‘n my driveway.....hundreds of ‘em....more’n I’ve ever seen before.....this year seems t’be a bumper-bumper year for acorns.....sometimes it seems like someone is knocking at the door, acorns bump-bumping on the roof ’n Willie ‘n Rusty runnin’ t’the door...it’s bad enuff when the squirrels ‘n chickens tease ‘em but now Ma Nature has the live oak jerkin’ them around also....
And y’can’t walk out’a the driveway without crunching acorns underfoot...’n since I got a gravel driveway, I can’t sweep ‘em out or blow ‘em out with the leafblower...
My little old leafblower is electric anyway ‘n hardly has enuff power to move leaves ‘n it darn sure ain’t gonna move an acorn out from among the gravel....ah well, obla-dee, obla-dah.....
I’m tired of the fog....it crept in here a few days ago (seems longer) a la Sandburg ‘n just keeps hangin’ on ‘n on...I do wish the sun ‘ud come back....
gettin’ closer ‘n closer to Christmas.....
