it hit me in the head. I feel like Chicken Little with acorns raining on my head. I don't remember them falling in such numbers. ToDeTa, the dog wonder, has been barking all night as they hit the house.
You have acorns we have little crab apples from the tree beside the house- it has thousands of them I think and if we get a little breeze they fall on house and sounds roll- then we get the squirrels getting them off the roof and out of the gutters... sometimes just one will sound like a herd of them.... back and forth, over and over....

I have pines growing over my house. Pine cones falling and rolling down to the gutters make a racket. But I can sleep through those noises. They hurt when they land on you. Most of mine are about fist size or slightly larger. On the far side of the ranch we have huge pine cones. I am very glad none of those are over my house.

Yes we do a lot of decorating year round with the big cones. I use the smaller ones for fire starters in my wood burners. And I also dip some in wax for my friends and neighbors for gifts.

I've done the fire starters before. They really work.
have you spray painted the big ones for center pieces? It seems they always turn out pretty because the paint only catches on the high spots.
