Remember a few months ago when I raked and raked and raked and raked and I ranted about leaves? Well today I found something I hate even more than I hate leaves – acorns.
I’ve actually always hated acorns. TW likes to tease me about the sky falling ’cause I used to rant about acorns when I lived in South Carolina but this acorn problem in our yard right now, it’s much worse than a little bit of sky falling.
Raking up acorns. It’s the pits. And pretty much an impossible job. Unless there’s some special sort of acorn rake that I don’t know about. Is there such a thing?
The special acorn rake? A pig. The wilder the better. =)
Yeah, acorns pretty much suck when you’re raking. Fortunately, my parents didn’t mind the acorns in the yard–it was mossy and woodsy anyway. 🙂
Where are the squirrels and chipmunks? Im just saying, these things eat those things and would clean up your yard in no time.
Sweetgum balls are worse than acorns, much worse. They HURT when you step on them barefooted…and no squirrel I know will eat them. Sooooo, it could be worse!
My daughter.
We changed out her backpack over the holiday week and found a couple of pounds worth of acorns.
