If trees in your neighborhood look more like tumbleweeds, or are of the Charlie Brown variety, do not despair - Montana pine needles are available as beautiful baskets, hand-crafted in Missoula by Judy Arledge. See examples on-line at her site, or at 4 Ravens Gallery in downtown Missoula. Who knew pine needles could be so much more than mulch?
One of my favorite glimpses into the life cycle of a Ponderosa Pine - the 'baby' pine cones forming in their nest of needles. Beautiful - I can almost smell it - scratch & sniff blog?
