Oak trees??

[I Macaulay]

I seem to have an abundance of Acorns that are now rooting.  I have never seen this many with roots springing out of  their wee bottoms. Is there something new going on or is this just me not noticing before.

Senility has been a smooth transition for me.

* sounds like a mast year combined with a deficiency of Squirrels.

The red squirrels have been replaced (speculation) with the larger Black and Grey, but there are quite a few of them.  A few Chipmunks as well. 

I can go  with a heavy crop last year, 

By the way, The two folks that I know of that sugar say this was a super yield year.

You may want to try the fall Tapping again.

Senility has been a smooth transition for me.
