Therefore I won't experience the massive acorns dropping. But I can picture you walking through them (and Lark getting hit on the head -- ouch!). <br /><br />And I can relate to the ebb and flow of the writer's seasons. This is a great reminder to keep working at what we do, fingers on keyboard, butt in chair.
