Acorn-Pickers!

Ok, so I don't know if you've looked out your window lately or not. If you did, I'm sure you'd notice what I'd like to call "the acorn-pickers" all around! They're everywhere, I swear! I see them in my yard, my neighbor's yard, your yard, at the school and scattered across the face of Sherman. My boyfriend thinks the term "acorn-picker" is racist, but trust me when I say it is completely interracial!

It seems like people from all nations, tribes, colors and backgrounds come out of the woodwork and go around picking acorns off of the lawns of others. It's a sort of gathering of the people. Everyone comes out to pick acorns, literally, out of all lawns like it's some Easter egg hunt all year.

What the hell they are doing, I have not the slightest clue! I mean, are they hungry?! I'll make them a sandwich or something! Are they trying to kill squirrels by taking their food? Silly Shermanites, those squirrels can't be killed so easily!

Just the other day I came home to see people picking acorns in our yard.

Creepy much?

Next day they are at the neighbors.

Ok, so it's a neighborhood thing. Great. I live in that part of Sherman.

Then I see them picking around at school.

Is this some sort of community service project? Pecan pie for the masses?

I don't know what's going on. I just know that I live in the acorn-picking capital of the country and I'm pretty amused by it! I seriously have a strong desire building up to join them and see what this is all about! Maybe it's some sort of warped strength and agility training! I could go for some of that!
