From tiny acorns

Last year was the worst year I remember for acorns; I didn't see a single one. Although this year, as with the other fruits and nuts out there, it appears like it could be a bumper year for acorns. Many of the trees I've seen are hanging with them. The pigs will be happy. Maybe that's how it goes, nature cycles through good years and bad, effected by natural factors; historical and archaeological sources would support that. Or could it be that demon of our own making 'climate change' taking effect?  I like to think the former as the latter doesn't really bear thinking about, though must be confronted as natures fluctuations are one thing, but there's no doubt our interventions are far beyond natural and will tip the balance in the end.
