So, yesterday morning, I got up to find that the wind smelled like a hurricane: warm, damp, noisy; and it had taken down most of the needles which will fall this year, all in one fell swoop.
Aren't they pretty, close up? I loved pine needles as a child. They are just a fun place to play. And if you can gather enough to pile together, they make a cozy chair.
Happy Garden Tuesday, everyone!

I didn't know they drop that many - but do know they make good mulch for my acid loving blueberries.
We had pine trees and I remember those stupid things getting stuck in my socks!
I love pine needles too, they always remind me of magical places in the woods. I had quite the imagination as a child and all woods were magical :)
We like those things too except they pinch us if we walk on them

Very pretty, and they smell soooo good.
I have a bunch in my yard right now. They make a great cushion for my kids when they fall out of the tree. ;-)
Great photos Marjie!
Interesting. I didn't know how many were dropped, or how often! We don't have any pine trees in The Woods. Oh, there are plenty around, but not on our property. We had too many problems with blights and pine beetles and such...
I'm not surprised. It did kind of seem like one day there was nothing and the next I couldn't see my grass anymore.
