My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts
1. My Longleaf Pine Cones!
Of course you’re asking, “Wait, do you have dirty pine cones on a baking dish?!”
Well, yes, I do. I’m planning to make this pine coney Christmas garland and read that I should “bake” the pine cones for about an hour at 200° just to kill any bugs.
Which seemed fine, until I took them out of the oven and realized I had just committed insecticide.
2. Running into lovely and great buddy (as well as Savannah social star extraordinaire) Jamie at last weekend’s Porch Fest at Baldwin Park.
3. The incredible blessing of just being able to WALK.
4. Speaking of walking, this beach walk that I just finished at Ponte Vedra, Florida (where we are staying again, for a week or so.)
I especially love the beach at cooler times of the year.
5. The Thanksgiving—themed decor in the foyer at the condo where we are staying.
I am just so, well, thankful, for all the seasonal changes and beautiful holidays we are invited to recognize and celebrate.
I hope you have something quite beautiful to celebrate this weekend!
Autumn is my favourite season, though I’m not crazy about what it ushers in! My first thought when I read your reason for baking the pine cones was, “bugs have a right to live, too …” Yep, insecticide, Neal! Watch out … their relatives may be plotting against you!!! 🕷️🕷️🕷️ Just kidding … thanks for some beautiful pictures, Neal!
