Decorating the Outside!

Today seemed like a good day to finish decorating so I put on my winter coat and braved the cold winds! 

We have Juniper, Spruce, Colorado Blue Spruce, Norway Pine, White Pine, Jack Pine, and Arborvitae in our yard.  So I began my pruning adventure and lopped off lower branches where I could and thinned the others like the Spruce where I could just take a piece of a layer. 

I just gathered my favorites and started arranging in my window boxes and wheelbarrows.  I still had a small stash of winterberries from our Christmas sale - I love the little touch of red!


Our little Christmas doggie in the window!

Love the old bird houses...sometimes a bird will come
 and visit but won't move in!

Even gargoyles like the decorations!

Our Christmas goose nests in one of my old wheelbarrows!

I wonder how long before our little guy is covered in snow???

Now I feel better - I almost ran out of time to get this project done.  No snow in the forecast so my family will be able to see my little outside vignettes on Christmas Eve.

Merry Christmas to all!
