Even the amount of leaves and new growth seems down. This is the first year in the 22 that I have lived here without any acorns. We seem to have had a normal spring. I can understand the cycle of acorns goes up and down each year. That is per tree, not all trees at once. This seems quite strange. Here in Fort Lauderdale the acorn count is 0.

Here they are a very important food for squirls and deer, yet even the number of squirls is down. I think there is a major problem going on, first the honey bees now this. This may be more of an alarm then we are being led to believe. What happens when everything quits producing nuts and fruit?

Mook is served raw kind of like tofu with a sauce made of red pepper, sesame oil and soy sauce. It's yummy, even if it's a bit difficult to eat with chopsticks....
