MoJo is MIA

Above is My Stash for you know what, this might jog your  memory as to what I save the pine cones for. If photo doesn't jog it Click Here.

Above is how they look when I pick them up, closed tight. Below is what they do in a couple of days

Below is fully open. I had about 25 opened ones, I said to Bob, what did you do with my pine cones? He said I did not touch the pine cones. Well, half of them are MIA... so where are they???

the answer below.... the little devils carry them off, sit in the tree, chew until they get the seed out, and drop those sharp pointy thingy's on the ground for my bare feet to find.

(yes, MadSnapper has lost her bloggin mojo and am forced to do yada yada blah blah)

Pyromania and Pine Cone part 3

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!

Pyromania and Pine Cone part 2

This is my Redneck Fireplace.... Bob has a set of two  of these, they are pots for melting lead.

 As you can see if you enlarge the photos, the redneck fireplace is loaded with a pine cone, pine straw and dead leaves and about 20 matches..... you would THINK that many matches would act like kindling wood. NOT!

I was snapping and whining  "it JUST will NOT  burn, all it is doing is smoking.... Stop! you will burn your hand, "I yelled as Bob put more pine straw on it.

Bob kept piling on straw and I kept saying "only the STRAW is burning, I want the cone to burn"

As he huffed and puffed and blew on the straw, it flamed up as I yelled

"be careful, you will catch your beard on fire. besides the ONLY thing burning is the pine straw, I want the pine cone to burn"

I said "stop! I want to burn it! Let me!'
He said " you know you are a pyromaniac"
I said "we already KNEW that!"

 Well, we proved pine straw burns... do you think the pine cone will?

to be continued... if you missed the first one click on the pine cone label below the last photo

Pyromania and the Pine Cone

Sandra:  "Bob, do you think a pine cone will burn?"

Bob: "What?"

Sandra:   "DO. You. Think. A. Pine Cone. Will. Burn?" ( wife speak for hard of hearing husband)

Bob: "Yes, Virginia, Sandra a pine cone will burn."

As I picked up the pine cone from beneath my toes and below my camera I said

"WELL do you have anything I could burn one in?"

Do you know what this is in above photo? 

Do you know if a pine cone will burn?

Do you think I tried to burn a pine cone in it?
