The Nov. 16-18 Campout will be held at Feather Your winter garden is in, bulbs are planted (they are, aren't they?). What to do? Well, Thanksgiving is around the corner and Christmas is not far behind. I know – pine cone crafts! I am the first to admit that I am not "crafty", but even I can work with pine Did you ever wonder what a pine cone is? Here's the answer. It is the female fruiting body of a pine tree. If fertilized, a pine cone will form seeds which will be released to grow trees. Way to go girl! The first thing to do is talk your Falls KOA in Oroville with Wayne Barry as Trailboss.

Setting it straight The caption for the photo with Farm City honors significant other, friend, kids, grandkids or anybody into helping you gather the aforementioned pine cones. This can be done by a fun trip to the mountains, your backyard, if you have a pine tree, or, with permission, your neigh- bor's backyard if they have pine trees. This can easily be done if you stress the word fun. Especially works well with the kids. The word fun doesn't always work with adults. After the first hurdle of gather- ing your pine cones, you must now prepare them. This is done by cov- ering a cookie sheet with foil and baking the cones in the oven at 200 or 250 for 20 minutes or until the sap is melted and all bugs are dead. You don't want to have any creepy crawlers marching around the din- ing table from your pine cone cen- terpiece. Finally, after the gathering and baking, you are ready to be cre- ative If you are tired out by this time you can just plop them in a basket and they will look great, but that would be cheating. How about scented potpourri? Put cinnamon, cloves, lemon zest and pumpkin pie spice in a large zip-lock bag. Spray the cones with adhesive, put in bag, shake, remove from bag and smell. That was easy. peanut butter on them, roll in bird- seed, hang up outside for the birds. Here are more ideas. Spread Roll them in acrylic paint and put in a basket. We all have bits and dabs of paint leftover. Spray paint them silver or gold, sprinkle with glitter and put in a glass vase. Make snow cones by touching tips of cones with white acrylic paint with a small foam brush. Let dry and put in a white bowl. Make a Thanks- giving turkey. The flat end is the tail after you stick in a few feathers or feather shaped cutouts. On the pointy end put a cutout the shape of a question mark for the head and twigs or chenille stems for legs. You get the idea. Don't just leave them on the ground to turn into pine trees. Be creative. The Nov. 27 garden club meet- ing begins at 12:30 p.m. with a social and at 1:00 pm the meeting and program at 12889 Baker Road, the public is encouraged to attend. Speaker Gerry Larson will present a program on "All about Bees."
