berries and pine cone by summerfield

berries and pine cone

i plucked this cone off a tree whilst waiting for the bus this morning. i washed it through hot running water and then sprayed it with insect spray and sealed it in a bag. but when i was taking this shot, i had it on zoom to focus and i saw a little white something moving around. so i had to spray it again directly this time. hope it kills all the bugs hiding in it. now i feel itchy!

i had a zoom call with my two younger sisters and my two brothers tonight after i attended our Christmas eve communion service on zoom. the Christmas carols made me feeling a bit nostalgic and reminded me of my mother singing them when we were little children still. so many years ago.

now i prepare my tummy for the rich food to partake tomorrow. i love Christmas, don't you?

merry Christmas to all my wonderful 365 friends. ♥♥♥ i'll catch up with you in the morning.
Merry Christmas to you! Many things at Christmas time make me nostalgic also. Good memories of our mothers.

We're zooming out two to unwrap gifts ( which will be hard for them as I sent ££ from my computer to theirs!).

Poor bugs, you made them homeless( or worse) but got a fab photo!

Merry Christmas to you from our house to your home xx

Your photos are always so nicely composed and elegant looking in their simplicity! Your stories have kept me going this year.

Glad to hear you are connecting with family. Maybe we need to think about getting together resume wise since it doesn’t seem to be happening any other way.

Merry Christmas to you and yours as well! Wishing you beauty in the small things that brings joy.

Lovely set-up! I'm glad you were able to catch up with family and attend your church. It's so important! I know the struggles. Christmas was my mother's favorite time of year- something she passed on to me, but it's just not the same without her or my dad. Thankfully grandchildren are helping ease that!

Merry Christmas - nice macro - technology has allowed us to stay in touch during these trying times

@grammyn - we should. it's organizing the time that might be the problem.
(see i understood whatever it was you wrote 😜)

@summerfield LOL! Good on you for understanding! I am very tired today and talk to text is definitely not working for me. You should have seen what it said to Mary.

I think what that said was getting together “ Zoom wise”And organizing the time could be problematic as well.

This cone appears to be dancing - I hope its not itchy too! Hope your Xmas was good with all the family catch-ups!

If you decide you want to keep the pinecone, put it in the oven at a low temperature for awhile. I've eaten well for two days now. Time to get back to real food!
