On Thursday the sixteen, my clumsy self slipped on an acorn, other than the fact it was funny for my sister and neighbors, my tumble lead me to wonder where this acorn came from. Are they falling from a tree behind my house or is someone going around throwing acorns in the hopes that they may grow? I could rule out the second idea simply which lead me to search for this mysterious tree around my neighborhood. As my walk went I found more acorns all around the perimeter and discovered it was not only my yard that they could be found in but the whole block had acorns in between blazes of grass and hidden in the rocks. I came upon three trees that surround the block of homes and underneath each laid acorns. How could an acorn travel from these trees to my yard? I picture an animated acorn walking with his funny cap whistling to a melody. However, the acorn's way of travel is not magical as hoped but is carried away from the tree in the strong arms of the wind.

I wonder if birds spread them around too. I know I have seen scrub jays carrying them around my neighborhood. What kind of tree is it?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Ms. Farias maybe it's the birds that are moving them or even some other kind of animal.
ReplyDeleteThat's really interesting. I was thinking the same thing as Ms. Farias and Devin, that it's possible that animals could have carried the acorns.
