The wife was away at work all day and it was a little too cold for the deer stand, so I thought I'd do some baking…. Or at least some warming/ drying. These are thistle pods. They don't have a nice aroma like cherry pits but they sure make nice blanks.

I also cooked some acorn caps, pine cones, walnut shells, cherry pits and rose pedals.
It was a good day. I hear tomorrow's going to be colder so maybe some more baking. 😬
Happy holidays all!

I learned something from this: Thistle pods - I thought it was cockleburs. SO I looked it up and found out that while thistle pods and cockleburs look similar, they are from different plants. I grew up on a farm and am well familiar with "cockleburs" which latch onto dogs and clothes and socks!

Great, now I've gotta take some time off work and drive to the Underhill house

Neat blanks John!
