Winter greenery always looks nicer with a little snow on it.

Our next door neighbor, Deb, did up her window box today and it makes mine look pretty sad.

The electric company was out the other week to deal with a downed power line for the neighbors across the alley. They decided to trim a decent sized branch from our backyard pine tree that was just a little too close to our power line for their comfort. I hacked some of it up to make this little arrangement for our front yard flower box. The fake berries are ones I had on hand.

Advent 2013 - Greening of Gethsemane 4

A sea of poinsettias in the sanctuary just waiting to be set out. I must say the place looked lovely by the time we were done with it. Preparation fuels anticipation.

I took this photo from up on a ladder after hanging a wreath. As Father Theo looked on he jokingly accused me a taking a selfie with said wreath. Little does he know I'm not that self-involved. Dale and Cindi look on.

After today's service Dale and I stayed after to help with the greening of the church. I've helped to decorate a bunch of the church's wreaths over the last few years. This may have been one of them.

Every year I order a spruce top from a gal at work who sells them for her daughter's Girl Scout troop.

Advent 2012 - Greening of the Church

On Sunday December 23, I helped with the greening of our church, Gethsemane Episcopal, by putting together a couple of wreaths.  I think they turned out pretty well if I do say so myself...
