Some interesting things have happened recently, that I thought worthy of a little post.

First, we had the first rain of the season, a very early, bombastic and drenching thunderstorm on the night of my birthday. It may have even been thundering and flashing lightning at the very hour I was born. Kinda cool. I think this is the earliest and biggest fall storm I can remember. Here's to hoping for an early and quenching rainy season.

Second, the Live Oak acorns in the East Bay cities started dropping last week! Huddart Park on the Peninsula is also starting their Live Oak and Blue Oak acorn drop. And I found a single, fat, fuzzy Tan Oak acorn. It was whole, and unmarred, without even a wevil hole. Yay acorns!
