Advent wreath situation

When I was home yesterday to see my grandmother, I went toward the woods to look for greenery so I could fix up our advent wreath. We are not getting a Christmas tree this year, so it's our big Christmas decoration.

Yes, that is a ball of tinfoil. It worked fine, but was not so pretty.


Back at the parents' house in Cloverly, I set out toward the woods with clippers. But I didn't even make it to the pine trees there, because my neighbor's compost pile had some big  pine branches lying right on top! I clipped and clipped.

Look!


There was plenty for the Advent wreath.

Much better


Then I made a pine garland.


Whee!


Today Joe and I put it up and added some greenery to the door.

And here are some silly shots Joe took. 






Added later: Maybe next year I will try adding cranberries! But how would one pose with cranberries?

Take a picture of my stomach after I eat all the cranberries?
