Treasures In The Yard

There is just something about Fall....the changing colors, the crispness of the air.  The acorns dropping from the trees are hitting my house like little bombs.  While getting my garden ready for its winter nap, I found perfectly formed acorns.  They look like beads.  Gather up some acorns in your yard (but make sure you leave some for the squirrels!)  Add them to cinnamon sticks for a fall centerpiece, incorporate them into your children's artwork (they make great eyes) or just keep them nearby and remember the glorious Fall when the winter hits.
