All Outdoors
It is nuts that we went from feast to famine.
Last year, you may remember, there was a bumper crop of acorns that fell in your yard, on your windshield, and, if you didn’t seek cover, on your head! The overabundance of acorns, called a “mast” year, made for slippery walks in the woods, but very happy and well-fed wildlife.

“There are two types of people; those who eat kale and those who should.”
Bo Muller-Moore, to whom this quote is attributed, is a nutritional prophet and a kale entrepreneur. While it is unclear whether he grows the green stuff himself, his “Eat More Kale” T-shirts are a must-have gift for the kale lover in your life.
