Winter Wreaths

My daughter loves to plant succulents in old gravy dishes or other odd and cool silver pieces. Currently she is tackling the process of making a succulent winter wreath, which I admit didn't sound very nice at first, but is actually quite pretty. Especially when you think of it hanging on a headboard made of salvaged beadboard. What do y'all think?

Sunday in the country

Went to see my friend Marianne today and I fell in love with her NC home...
I have always admired her taste and artistic ability!

Marianne makes the best pickled green tomatoes!

Hope you enjoyed the photos!

Gathering Leaves

by Robert Frost

Spades take up leaves
No better than spoons,
And bags full of leaves
Are light as balloons.

I make a great noise
Of rustling all day
Like rabbit and deer
Running away.

But the mountains I raise
Elude my embrace,
Flowing over my arms
And into my face.

I may load and unload
Again and again
Till I fill the whole shed,
And what have I then?

Next to nothing for weight,
And since they grew duller
From contact with earth,
Next to nothing for color.

Next to nothing for use.
But a crop is a crop,
And who's to say where
The harvest shall stop?
