Pumps' Perplexities

Acorns.......Live in a house under an oak tree and it can
keep you awake at night, at this time of year......All night long
these little "bombs" hit the roof, either one at a time or in
multiples......Three or four dropping at a time can make your
house feel that it is under attack by some foreign alien force.....

Some are from low branches and only drop a few feet.....But
these take their good old time rolling down the roof.......If they
drop from a higher height, they just bounce off into the
surrounding yard, but they do make a bigger "klunk" on the
roof......You can't win either way......

I guess Nature is good in a way.....At least these little gems of
food will be on the ground for the winter and spring.......
The sight of a squirrel falling out of a tree trying to eat one of
these things would be worse.......Who needs to see "splat" or
a limping tree rat.....Pumps
