Summer and Acorns Have Sprung

I don't know how many squirrels can inhabit one territory (i.e. yard). To me it looks like about fifty, but for all I know there is just one little family of three or four squirrels who have made our yard their home. Regardless of how many squirrels there are, I do know that our 60 year-old Oak tree produces thousands of acorns each and every autumn, and that these rodents squirrel (ha!) them away for the winter. I think they forget about most of them because about four million baby oak trees sprout in our yard every Spring. On this warm and sunny day I had Wilson and Eliza pulling weeds. And baby Oak trees.
