acorns
Squirrel winter stash
Acorns are the nuts of oak trees—small, oval seeds sitting in a cuplike cap.
They're food for squirrels, deer, and other wildlife, and were historically ground into flour by various cultures.
The saying from little acorns mighty oaks grow uses them as a symbol of small beginnings that lead to great things.
