Pine Cone Redux Redux



Did the pine cone burn?  YES, because each time it looked like above, I piled more pine straw in the pot.
(we burned a bale of straw trying to burn one pine cone)


Did MadSnapper have fun????


I created "Eau de Pine Cone" and one of the most fun part of all of this was the fact I smelled like a fireplace all day long.


Did any one question WHY would the MadSnapper burn a pine cone? YES, see comment below
and the answer issssss???  Because She Could.....





COLOR ME FLAMING HAPPY!  Next time I use the Redneck Fireplace, I will have marshmallows in the house....... then you can Color me SWEET!

Your fire pictures are gorgeous, really beautiful! Pine cone perfume, you have created the year's newest scent. I did not think it would burn.

Love your photos crazy woman. And why not have fun when you can?

Gayle said...

Yep, I kept asking 'why' as I scrolled down through your post. Knowing full well the answer-haha.
And I was right there with you. While the RG 'worked' I inched around the pile of burning leaves getting shots from all perspectives.
It use to be a harmless hobby but now we are playing with fire.

Love these. I could sit and stare at flames for hours. I actually have a flickering candle sitting in front of me right now. I knew exactly why you tried to burn it and that is why I do anything I do also

Hello, I love the smell of a wood fire. I would never have thought of burning a pine cone. I love watching a fire too, as long as it is safe. The marshmallows are a must. Next time! Enjoy your day and new week!

Lovely fire you've created burning one pine cone, ha ha. I love the smell of a fireplace or an outdoor fire. Enjoy the rest of your week.

Because you could, that is the best reason in the world. Love these, and love that old pot. There's something about a flame that is really mesmerizing, especially when outside on a cold night, not so cold in your neck of the woods I'm sure :)

I love doing things just because I can! lol! Love the "redneck" fireplace. We have a fireplace where my daughter lives. Maybe we should just kick her out and more in. Or trade places for the winter months. haha!

I love the smell of a fireplace. These are pretty pictures. I am late visiting today. Had the followup visit with the dermatologist for the skin cancer on my forehead earlier today.

You a pyromaniac - right? I had trouble commenting on blogs yesterday I think it is working today. Like your fires.
