Cones

Today's Thing We Like:  the pine cone. 

The pine cone is a fascinating, complex, remarkable object of nature.  Pine cones are pleasing both visually and in a tactile way. There are so many variations and permutations:  big, small, open, closed, spiky, rounded.  I would like to find a large pine tree in a forest and collect and arrange the fallen cones in patterns and piles.  I can almost feel the dry pine needles under my feet and smell the faint scent of sap in the air, just thinking about it. Happiness.
