I'm not sure what these are, but I'm about to find out. They have formed all over the leaves of one of the pin oaks. I'll leave a link here to what i find out. If you find out before I do, let me know. I suspect this is a symptom of some kind of deficiency.
OK, here is what I found below (italicized). Sounds really creepy, but doesn't sound like I need to be concerned.
This is a gall, most likely resulting from a ‘sting’ by a small wasp. The wasp’s secretion causes the plant cells to proliferate abnormally, resulting in the gall formation. The wasp’s larva (the ‘grub’ you noticed) completes its development within the gall. As a whole, oaks probably are preyed upon by more gall-forming arthropods than any other plant group. In addition to wasps, galls also may be formed by some flies and mite species. Most galls of the type you photographed do no real harm to the tree. -- Ed Saugstad, retired entomologist; Sinks Grove, WV
The Green Moutnain Boxwood hedge is loaded with buds just like this time last year. I hope we don't get a killer frost like we did last year in April. That resulted in me having to cut the entire hedge down to two inch stubs.

Front row: Arlie Hughes, Lisa, Tina, and Pauline Hughes (Walter's daughter). Note: other than Pauline, am unsure of the relationships - help, anyone?
