RE: Beyond the Words You See

The sandwich looks great! We used to have pine trees around my parents house when I was little. Most of the are gone now, but I kind of miss them. Mowing over the pine cones wasn't fun, but they worked great for starting fires. My wife and I had an apple tree at our old house and I have to say mowing over the apples was worse than the pine cones!

Sort:  

Yes! When we go camping, we always brought a few pinecones! It just always was that way, I am not sure how it started.

Growing up, we lived in a lovely sprawling piece that was a little bit away from the buzz of the city. We had a pine tree that was taller than our house 2 1/2 stories and my father put C9 bulbs on it. Tons and tons of them. Hint: He never took them off! You could see the lights for miles as we were at a high point in the town.

I loved seeing it from across the river.

We had a small apple orchard with about 20 trees in it. Whoever got to mow it would feel punished. I remember having to pick up/rake up the apples before mowing. I did love those apples though!

Hi, Jay! @bozz! Thanks for stopping by!

We'd pick up as many of the apples as we could, but eventually, it just became a losing battle. We would leave them for the deer instead.

In most places that would be considered baiting, but, I know you didn't shoot them. :)

Ditto!!! We picked up many, but, left many. Just like kids do. :)
