My First Wreath

On my Northwoods list of things I want to do was to make my own green things for Christmas.  You remember the huge tree that fell across our lane to the road during the wind.  It was a balsam (Christmas tree type).  As I was dragging the branches to the fire pit, I decided to keep some choice ones and make a wreath.  Never made one before, but it turned out rather nice for a first try.  And it smells wonderful.  You may be thinking that it is too early for a wreath.  Not in the Northwoods!  The radio has been advertising where to bring your evergreen boughs for money.  I have seen pick up trucks and larger carrying green boughs to the wreath making places since October 25.  So enjoy your fresh evergreen wreath at Christmas.
