"Where There's Will, There's a Way"

by Linda Gayle Burke

Will was born with ten fingers, but they were bent and stiff. His parents prayed that someday he could use his hands like other children do. Will's cat Angel, was his loving and loyal companion. Look for her on every page.

The book is closely based on the childhood of the author's son Gentry William Burke. He was born with a rare condition, Arthrogyrposis. Yet using his hands in a unique way, he became a classically trained pianist.

Now Featuring Round Pine Straw Bales!

Something New, Something Great!

Now Featuring Round Pine Straw Bales!

While square pine straw bales are great for mostly every application, homeowners and landscaping professionals are now choosing round pine straw bales.

Round pine straw bales are perfect and ideal for large scale landscaping projects.

Landscapers can save about about 30 - 40% of their current labor costs by using round pine straw bales because it's much easier and faster to spread. Round bales can be rolled out just like a bale of hay and set to the preferred depth of 3" with a pitchfork or by hand.
 

Our Round Pine Straw Bales:

• Has a consistent size and weight.
• Have 2.5 times the capacity of square pine straw bales.
• Covers 135 - 150 square feet per bale.
• Weigh approximately 36 - 38 pounds.

• Is easier to install due to being "rolled out" rather than "shaken out".
• Has zero loss of the product because it "rolls out" exactly where you want it.
• Contains cleaner pine straw (with less leaves, twigs and debris).
• Try some today!

 Only found at Pinecone Home and Garden!

Fall at Pinecone Home and Garden...
