I went into our local store to pick up a few things for the week and was met with this cute little pumpkin display. The warty looking blue ones are my favorite. If only it would start to feel like fall around here sooner rather than later <sigh>.
After a very dry spring and summer, I was beginning to wonder if our many oak trees on the property would put forth acorns. Thankfully for our local critters, the Lord is providing them food for the fall season. He always meets our needs if we'll just wait on His timing and loving provision.
At first I was just seeing these tiny little acorns and was concerned because it was mostly cap and no "meat". Then yesterday I realized there are still plenty of acorns on the trees that are growing to maturity. It's just a matter of time before the acorns start dropping and fulfill their purpose. We have a lot of squirrels on our 2.5 acres that need to fatten up in advance of a sparse winter. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before these rodents with lovely fuzzy tails are sitting in front of the family room windows, munching on their acorn buffet and taunting our terriers.
