When I saw this prompt, I just had to reblog this blog of mine from 2018. It was too perfect.
Mystery Solved
My friend Larry Kolczak has allowed me to copy this hilarious email sent to me. I’ve been trying to convince him he should have a blog himself. Do you agree?
Six months ago, we hung these beaded curtains on our second-floor patio fence to obscure the view into the neighboring lot. Recently, …
… we started finding broken strands. We figured it was because the curtains weren’t made for outdoor use, and that sun and wind had deteriorated the nylon strings. But, that wasn’t the problem…
It turns out that many of the eco-friendly beads are acorns.
Guess who noticed?
He nips the string to get the uppermost acorn…
… which he either eats on the spot, or buries in our potted plants, and leaves us with the…
…collateral damage.
Go HERE to find Larry’s monthly articles in El Ojo del Lago.
MVB‘s Prompt is Acorn.

Larry has a monthly column in the Ojo del Lago, which publishes online as well. Google Ojo del Lago and then search for his name to read his other stories. They are always a hoot.

Hysterical! Eco-friendly isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
Years ago, I gave my mother a wall hanging made of dried red chilis. One day, they all exploded. And coated the kitchen with sticky seeds.

Oh no! Who knew they could do that? Maybe we need a “dangerous food” prompt…

Isn’t it hilarious? How patient he must have been to be able to photograph them in the act.

Yes, instead of stopping them, he recorded them.
