Squirrels may know something we don't...for whatever reason they haven't been snatching up all the chestnuts from the chestnut trees here and putting them away for the winter. According the people who have lived here the longest, whenever the spiny husks on the chestnuts have started to open up, the squirrels are very quick to snatch all the nuts up before any humans can get to them. Today, we scored a huge amount of chestnuts that we had managed to knock off the trees... chestnuts were EVERYWHERE as they had separated from the cracked open husks when being catapulted from the trees.

Last year, I remember the squirrels in neighboring trees going absolutely nuts when they saw us going after the chestnuts...they were squawking/hissing/ acting like squirrels do when they feel threatened. This year (today) not even a peep from a squirrel...in fact i don't remember
seeing a squirrel today...hmmm....maybe these squirrels know something we don't....or possibly they passed on the chestnuts because they are sitting fat and happy with a bountiful acorn harvest...who really knows...

**Hmmm !!! ... Most Curious !!

Hard to imagine that something so dramatic could happen in only 7 or so hours, but I'm open to the possibility.
