Pine Cones
Why is my pine tree all of the sudden dropping tons of pine cones?
There is a pine tree in my yard (3 stories) that started dropping tons of pine cones every day. I've been living there for 6 years and didn't start to happen until this year. Is this a sign it may be dying?
All conifers drop their cones when ripe thats natures way, ( don't understand 3 stories )?
Preparing Thanksgiving dinner involves a lot of your. You need to decide on what you will make, go to the grocery store, defrost the turkey, make your side dishes, cook the turkey, and clean the kitchen so it's ready for guests. After this is all said and done the last thing you want to be worrying about is the presentation of your dinner table, unfortunately, hosting a Thanksgiving Day feast includes this as well. Setting your table doesn't have to be a lot of work like making the dinner though, in fact it can be very simple and fun. Here are some great tips to help you create a beautiful looking table to go along with your delicious dinner.
The first thing you need to place on your table is a table cloth. This will keep all of the dishes and silverware away from your table and prevent scratches or other damaging. For your Thanksgiving Day table cloth your can either use a full table cloth or runner done in a deep red or orange color or an autumn themed prints such as fall leaves. However, if you want to be more creative or to involve your kids in the preparation of Thanksgiving Day get a large sheet of butcher paper and paint leaves, turkeys, pumpkins, or pilgrims on the surface.
Next, you are going to want to place a few centerpieces on your table. These center pieces can be store bought or for a more inexpensive piece you can place fruit, pine cones, or small fall pumpkins found at your grocery store in a basket. You can also scatter fall leaves, wheat sprigs, and clusters of berries or nuts around the center of your table. For a sleeker look you can simply place a few wooden or rustic metal candleholders on the table.
The next pieces you are going to want to place on your table are your dishes. Obviously you can use any dish when setting your table, but if you're looking to keep with the festive Thanksgiving theme you can use a clear glass plate and place some leaves underneath that will show through. Also, when preparing your serving dishes make sure that each separate dish has an appropriate serving utensil.
For your napkins you can use either decorative store bought paper or linen. The paper napkins probably won't need any spicing up but if your want an easy napkin holder for your linens; you can tie a dark fall colored ribbon around the center. In addition to the ribbon you can place the stem of a leaf under the center knot that will serve as a place setting. Simply use a black thin head magic marker to write your guests name on the leaf.
Remember, regardless of what your table looks like your guests are bound to enjoy the meal and company they came for in the first place. These tips will just continue the Thanksgiving Day atmosphere onto your table and make the day even more magical.
