Fortunately those are blight tolerant. I buy already roasted Italian chestnuts at the store. Yum-o.
I'm pretty confident the American version will make a comeback. If I don't die from these migraines and diverticulitis they should be spreading back through the forests and producing nuts in the next few decades. The blight resistant ones just need the government approval. Gene and I will be waiting.
No particular order...

Tough one
First 40s with rain here...albeit 49.9F. But I know you count that.
Nice little surprise drink, but I'm starting to get a little sick of the water. A week of dry days would be nice.
Kinda shocked at how much color there is in the foliage already. Took the ride home down 132 and there’s stretches with a lot of red, orange, and yellow. It’s not the meager weak tree stuff either.
They've been annihilating my fruit trees. I saved the pear trees before they got too many fruits by hitting them with a high pressure wash, but I was a little late with the cherry trees. I didn't even bother with the crabapple and plum. The plum tree is like 80% tented up right now. They're even tenting in the oaks. I have some kind of weird caterpillar eating up my birch leaves as well....never seen them before. They're yellowish black and kinda curl up like an inch worm on the leaves....probably about an inch long.
edit...looks like sawfly caterpillars
