Bill gifted me some so this isn't a request. It's just a thanks from all of us who have been lucky to get gift acorns from someone, which soon grow. I'm still trying to gather enough acorns to pass along. I like your idea of the "no duplicate".
Again, thanks from the crowd!

You set a good example, Bill. I think you are also the person who responded to some Astilbe questions I had just over a year ago. But since I had a large quantity of acorns (I've posted a lot of hosta pictures) and not too many places to use them, giving them away is the best option.

Well to be honest, I have just been following the lead of others here who have donated acorns.

Not asking for any acorns. Just want to say, 'Good on both of you, ViolaAnn and BigBill'.
It really is fun tossing acorns at people. I'm squirreling mine away so that at some point I can issue a 'give away' challenge. For now it's just fun to throw 1 or 2 at a time.

I'd love some acorns. I haven't been and won't be able to be on the site much due to problems with my phone/WiFi and internet service due to a lightning strike down the street. So I won't be able to load photos to accrue acorns for this month's raffle, as I have to head to the library or another public place to do so. Sighing!
