hello...i'm doing well...i hope you are also. :) yessss..the tips of pines, spuce and fir trees, the evergreens, are sooooo medicinal. they can be processed into many types of products. we will be using it like our rose infused oil....to make topical lotions, salves etc...to rub on our skin. yes, the spruce is a commonly used tree here also for christmas trees. enjoy your weekend sister!
