In search of the last green acorn…

Abi loves acorns.  It is a real bummer that among the small forest that we have growing in our yard, not a single tree is an Oak.  But, this lends for great motivation during walks.  We look for oak trees, we try to spot where the squirrels are running, it’s great!  For whatever reason though, Abi is quite particular with her acorn hunting.  She does NOT like the brown ones (unless they are nearly black, then they are worth holding on to) and will gather them only to throw them into the street.  Curious one, that abi.  We do not like acorns to “wear hats” – this warrants a street destination too.  BUT, Abi lives for the green acorns.  We will hunt and hunt until we find them.  And then in the last few weeks we’ve declared that surely this must “be the last green acorn” and get all excited about the find.  I mean, wouldn’t you?!
