Today will be spent raking and bagging the windfall of long needles from the white pine trees on the property.
They will be used to fill the dog’s boxes and to make comfy nests for the hens to lay their eggs in. Any leftovers will be used in spring for veggie mulch.

White pine is not native to this area, but we have several trees that were brought home by my girls from school as tiny little “treelings”!
