The White Oaks are dropping embryonic acorns all over the patio. They are the size of little peppercorns. I did some research and learned that when the trees are stressed due to cold, heat, drought, or too much rainfall, they will prematurely terminate acorn growth. Given those stress factors, I will say that the heat and drought this summer are responsible for stressing out my oak trees.
Three Good Things:
1. A decent chance of rain tomorrow
2. A great book recommendation from a friend
3. Silk pillowcases. I'm way late to the silk pillow case game. Don't know how I lived without one all these years.
Now that’s interesting about the silk pillowcases…I have heard of the benefits but never tried….perhaps they are all true…no wrinkles etc!! Poor little acorns, it doesn't take much to upset their growth….brilliant focus Peggy!
@happypat Silk pillow cases stay nice and cool. And they are great for combating bed head hair. My hair looks better when I wake up than when I go to sleep. 😀
