A Sentiment

God knew what He was doing when He sent a gentle breeze and brought a lovely butterfly to set my heart at ease. The happiness of your friendship and the gentleness of your words have touched my life in special ways and now I feel assured. Thank you for your loyalty and for reading everyday. I only hope you find things to make a happy day.

Christmas Garden Bouquet of the Month

Well, it's that time of the month again...Christmas Garden Bouquets. Living in Northern Illinois, it was really a difficult task. I looked out at the snowy landscape and wondered what I could come up with. I really didn't want to do anything with indoor plants...I wanted to do something from my yard at this time of the year. Everything is snow covered...even my plants for "winter interest" I spotted a branch that was lying in my neighbor's yard. It had been lying there for a couple of days. "What could I do with that?" I thought. Then I got an idea from a favorite TV show of mine. It's the Charlie Brown Christmas show. A friend of mine has a Charlie Brown Christmas tree in her family room...that her grand children have decorated for years. It wouldn't be a Christmas for Nancy and Ralph without that tradition taking place. I put a few greens and part of that branch...in this little cookie tin and hung a tiny red ball on it and I call it my "Charlie Brown Christmas Garden Bouquet."
Now maybe you would like to see other creative bouquets for December. Go to Noelle's at http://www.azplantlady.com/ and see what other gardeners are doing this month. Merry Christmas to all of you who participate or just observe.
