Decorating with Greens

Saturday I went to a friends back yard & cut sprigs of greens from three different types of pines. Since we have an artificial tree, I like to have real greens for the scent of pine throughout the house.

I now have several crocks, baskets, glass & wooden containers filled with pine around the house.

Holiday Decorating

Decorating the house for Christmas is very messy & a lot of work. I spent all day yesterday decorating three rooms in the house and that does not include putting up the tree.

The first string of lights I plugged in didn't work. I checked every bulb and for a time I thought maybe the outlet was bad, tried another outlet & still the string didn't light.
I'm going to save the tree for next weekend.

Mantel Decorating

I've wanted to decorate our mantel with fake gifts for years. Unfortunately, the wrapping paper I choose does not look right. The living room is Country and the paper looks Victorian.

I still like the idea & I'll save the boxes but next year I'll be using other papers. This is the only part of house that is decorated so I need to get busy this weekend. Ho, Ho, Ho!

Nature Gone Bad

Our lilac bush is budding. The photo was taken Monday afternoon.

I think we won't have as many lilac's this spring because of all the winter budding. Anyone know for sure? Winter to coming thou, weather is suppose to change to cold & snow today.

How long?

I forgot how much a healthy young man can eat. How long do you think it took to eat a raspberry pie, made with berries from Big Uncle David's garden?Oh, about six hours.
He also ate an entire pumpkin pie & just over half a blueberry pie during his four days at home. Not to worry, he's at the gym just about every night.
