They were wet...with sap! I don't recall seeing oaks looking like this.
This morning as I was leaving for work I noticed a wet patch on our road where an oak's branches overhang the road. Curious, I stopped and got out of my pickup, bent down and ran my fingers along the dark patch. It was wet and sticky.
Tree sap.
I honestly don't recall ever seeing this before. I certainly haven't seen it in the 7 years I've lived in my present home or during the 14 years I lived in my previous home just on the other side of the hill from where I live now.
Is anyone else seeing this?

The acorns seem about right where we are. It would be early for our home in NJ, but I know have picked up the NH ones in July and August to bring home for fall decor.cannot speak to the sap.
Trees have started turning though.
