Pine, Frankincense and Myrrh (9/365)





My roommate is so cool - she bakes her own bread, and makes hand-made gifts (carvings or drawings) and, in general, approaches new endeavors with joy.  She decided to make incense, and today several of her friends came over to help.  We sat around our living room grinding frankincense and myrrh, and stripping needles off Christmas tree branches, which we had furtively snapped off on the sidewalk.  It was quite demanding, actually, so it was a good thing we could also relax with tea and pastries from the bakery downstairs.
