Wood roses 2

The wood roses have been gathering dust

in a basket.

Like the shells from summer which lost their lustre

and the conkers that dulled and cracked,

these once vital seasonal gleanings needed

a stern reappraisal.

Luckily there are people out there who know how to repurpose,

and so these have been given a new lease of life

thanks to Pebbledash and Silverpebble.

Now they are scented wax pine cone firelighters.

I admit they don't look very different

but that is because I had not a glimmer of daylight

all day.

They will have their moment of glory when the woodstove

is commissioned.
