We are now those weird people who live down the street. Every day we walk down a particular block and spend 15 minutes bent over, searching through the fallen leaves, looking for any shiny brown globes peaking through: chestnuts!
It's been a couple weeks of this activity, and one or two chestnuts a day makes for quite a haul over a long period of time. One day after a windy night we found 35! Now we can make chestnut turkey soup and chestnut butter and who knows what else.
The poor squirrels will just have to make due with acorns because we now have the foraging bug. Chestnuts galore!
