One of my city dweller’s discoveries now living on the country side – we discovered
a sugar pine (they are not the regular pines).
Look how giant the sugar pine cone is – compared to a clothes pin.
One Word Sunday
Do you see the cones on the left of the sugar pine in our yard ?
Estimated at least 80 feet

I LOVE the sandals and that is a serious pine cone! I have a pine tree in my front yard – actually it IS my front yard – and thankfully its cones aren’t nearly so large.
That is a BIG pinecone!
I’m glad you put the clothes pin for perspective. And what a garden to house a tree like that!
I know for Europe it’s a lot of land, 1 1/3 acre, but here, some do not begin to count the acres till it’s 5 acres!
Debbie, actually I could not call our yard a garden, because around us is the forest. That’s why I can’t grow anything on the ground like veggies and flowers, since the animals who pass through like to eat them:) They eat the sugar pinecone too!
Thank you Joanne – I took that shot from my back window and thankful that that sugar pine is about an acre away from the house:)
