HELLO ALL!
Since today is the first day above 10 degrees in the Northeast, I thought it was only appropriate to have my first official blog post include something outdoorsy!! I ventured out to finally switch my Christmas/Holiday decoration to Winter! Well most of them, this christmas tree bucket was frozen in the ground, haha! When it thaws, I will just rotate the bucket around and leave it out for winter decor with the birch logs.
I was able to get the garland down and the trees out of my containers. If you continue to follow along, you will quickly realize how much I LOVE containers!
I even have a little container on the side of my mailbox…
I like to switch it out each season. I just have a few artificial red berry stems and some boxwood that I cut from the garden in it now.
And for the finished look: (with our yellow lab always standing guard)
I will continue to try to get that empty container (to the left of the birch logs) out of the ground… Maybe some hot water will do the trick. I didn’t sweep off the snow, might have made for a more formal photo, but I like to keep things real, and lets be honest, it will most likely snow again in the next day or so, so what is the point? Do you agree? If the temperture stays above zero for the next few days, I will cut some more fresh greens and lay in my whiskey barrel. I had a tree in it, and now it looks bare.
I love decorating for the holidays, but when that ball drops, I am ready for a clean slate. A more simplistic look. The Christmas decorations seem so cluttered and unorganized after being up for a month. Here is to a FRESH YEAR, some FRESH AIR and a FRESH START with
“Our Home Days!”
Thanks for stopping by!
XOXO
