Taking the long way home means stopping to collect those
beautiful seasonal bits and bobs...
So much more fun decorating knowing that you scrambled down a bank
for that fuzzy, mossy birds nest...
Or walked ankle deep in the mud to clip those perfectly cascading rose hips...
Need some of that mint green lichen?
Yeah, you know just the place to find it...
It may take you several hours to get there,
but you know that getting there is half the fun!
The willow and dogwood branches show off their best colours this time of year...
Gathered together in bunches to provide a perch for the birds on your porch...
Hang a few ornaments on them and there you go.
A great excuse to go for a ramble...take the dogs along and get festive.
And at the end of it all, you add a few fairy lights,
stand back with rum and eggnog in hand...
A toast to Mother Nature!
Now all we need is a wee bit of that white stuff...I always dream of a white Christmas.
