I have spent the last few weekends raking, and while I normally I love our evergreen trees, I usually feel a little differently this time of year. It seems like I no sooner get done raking and the yard is full of pine needles and pine cones again! The only bright spot about this task is the fact that I can save the pine cones to use in a variety of crafts - but who needs hundreds of pine cone angels and bird feeders!
