Acorns keep falling!

We have a lot of trees around our house, and most of them are oak trees. That means we get lots of acorns falling in our yard.  We've lived in this house for over 30 years, and we think this year tops all for the amount of acorns falling.

Here's one of the initial clean up piles. There's a few leaves on top but mostly acorns.  This time Bob hauled away 7 wheel barrows full from our front yard.

Not only are there lots of them, but they are so noisy this year.  It sounds like someone is throwing them against the house or the roof.
I got a video of the noise, but I can't get it uploaded here.  When the girls stayed overnight last weekend, they said it woke them up during the night.

Here, you can see all the acorns in the landscaping.

This is the drive to Bob's workshop.  No acorns have been cleaned up here, and look at them all.  This week, Bob cleared out another 11 wheel barrows full.

Looking up into the oak trees.  There's more acorns up there, but we do see an end in sight.  At least when the leaves come down, they are quiet!
