Baby trees

I am not surprized at our newest development...

While in bed I roll over and feel a pine cone poke its little pokies in my back. Then reach my hand under the pillow and find a little tiny pine cone and a couple more at my feet.

Why, might you ask, do we sleep with pine cones? They are baby trees! So they need a safe and warm place to sleep at night.

This is what I get for teaching Alyosha about botany and how trees grow!
