Chestnuts!

Time: 1807-1825

Date: 15 November 2008

Climate: Not too cold out, brisk and refreshing

Location: Walking around campus and towards Salem City Center

As I walk around campus and towards the Salem City Center with friends we are walking under a good amount of Chestnut Trees.  The chestnuts are falling off of them still and this is shocking to me.  They seem to have been falling for forever now.  One dropped right behind me and came so close that I could feel the vibration on the sidewalk in my shoes when it hit the ground.  It is slightly unnerving to walk under them because I always fear that they are going to fall on me.  There are so many chestnut trees around and so many chestnuts on the ground.  I definitely thought that they would not be falling as much anymore but lately I’ve been noticing it more that ever.  Maybe it is just me finally realizing it but I do think more have been falling that were before.
