Attack of the acorns

We have lots of oak tree in our front yard. It's wonderful to have the shade and beauty of the tree, but along with oak trees, comes acorns.
Each Fall we end up with acorns in the yard, but this year there are more than we have ever seen!
The past week has been really windy and the acorns have been hitting the roof and house like someone is firing them at us. One of the trees is over our bedroom and at night we hear them hitting the roof and rolling down.
Here are a few pictures to show you what I'm talking about:

The flowerbeds seem to have more acorns than plants.


1 week ago, Bob raked the lawn and cleaned off this walk. All of these have fallen in that time.

It's impossible to walk across the yard without stepping on acorns. My friend Alan, from 2010 Daily Photo showed a picture of something made by the Amish in his area. It's an Acorn picker. I think we need one!
I'm hoping most of the acorns have come down, but even as I type this, I hear more hitting the roof!
