We have 2 giant oak trees in our front yard.  I have nick-named them the ‘squirrel condos’.  You get the idea.  I couldn’t help but notice that it is a good year for acorns.

The picture to the left is an actual photo I just took of our driveway.

Did you know that an oak tree can live 200 years or more?

For every 10,000 acorns, only one will become an oak tree.

A mature oak tree can draw up to 50 or more gallons of water a day.

Although ‘acorn’ is not mentioned in the bible (NIV), the word ‘oak’ is mentioned twenty-three times.

I think that’s just Amazing!

(Little bits of life, nature, and who-knows-what will sometimes pique my interest and I have to know more!  Like my acorns.  And on days like today when there was no insightful story to expand upon, I kept it brief with the mini-lesson on acorns.  Look for more little splashes of interest on my un-inspiring days as I explore something different and title it “just amazing _______”.)
