I saw one with lots of brown also. But the acorns are plump this year. We'll know for sure in March!

I wish the buying a new snowblower thought would work. I bought myself a birthday present of one three years ago and went through over 15 gallons of gas in a ten horse two stage.

Been seeing a lot of black ones here as well as some like that one. Seems they can't make up their minds.

Some of those critters are tourists so they may be from Ecuador, not much cold and snow down around the equator.
We got creamed the last time I bought a Snowblower, that was the first year in this place I had to clean off the deck four times and roof twice. Even had to buy a roof rake.
Realize that the snow had to be removed from the deck, then the roof raked, and the snow removed from the deck. The deck runs the length of the house and is one floor up from the ground.

I wish I could look into a weather crystal ball, but there just isn't one. However, looks like winter is getting ready to re -emerge and is really never that far away. That is why I seldom ever pack away my winter clothes and am always on the hunt for pellet bargains.

I learned a long time ago expect anything in Maine. As the saying goes, wait 5 minutes and the weather will change.
A "good" winter is one where its cold and snowy outside and warm and cozy inside.
Interesting story Smokey....didn't know the "rest of the story". BTW, I live about 15 minutes from Bear Mtn. State Park, so MY woolly bears are the originals and never lie!
