Nutty

It's that time of year. Acorns are forming and falling. I'm sure they're good food for many wild critters like deer, squirrels, and birds.

Acorns are called les glands in French.

We're expecting a high today of 32ºC, close to 90ºF. The hardest part of the heat is how it affects sleeping. Not in a good way, that's certain. It's such a relief in the morning when the cool air comes in. By mid-day, it's time again for closed windows and shutters.

  1. I would not do well without air-conditioning in that heat, although 32C sounds like spring.

  2. When I was a boy in the midwest I used to collect acorns and try to sprout them and plant them, I felt like the Johnny Appleseed for acorns. I wonder if any of them lived.
