Life in the Firing Range

When I built the "not shed," it was spring.  It has been positively delightful all spring and summer, consistently ten degrees cooler than the rest of the garden.  When it has rained, the gentle pitter patter of raindrops on the tin roof are really wonderful.

It is now fall.  In fall, the acorns FALL!!!!!  It is anything but a gentle pitter patter.  The noise could wake the dead.....Thank goodness the "not shed" is closer to my neighbors' houses than it is to mine!

  1. Your not shed it wonderful. Yes, the walnuts drop on the neighbors garage across the street and it is quite a sound and if you are walking by they roll out at you. I bet the acorns sound like bullets on the tin roof.

  3. It's so sweet.
    I know how loud those acorns can be, we have a tin roof on the back porch, when it hails the cat
    runs and hides :)

  4. Tim,
    All that snow coming your way is going to slide right off that roof!

  5. I have to park the truck near the street. The acorns are the size of golf balls. You hear them break free. They crash through a few dried leaves on their way down. That sound is your only warning. Heaven help you if there are no leaves in the way. They hurt. I speak from experience.

  6. Tim your shed is delightful, I just want to go and sit there and listen to the acorns! But what is even better is to know I HAVE BEEN THERE IN PERSON and can visualise it and even hear the acorns dropping! " oh dear the sky is falling in", Is you Cat Chicken Little?
