December Garden

December month has come around.
I can't believe it's here again.
It's time for cards and buying gifts
And gathering the greenery in.

This lovely branch will make a swag.
It only needs a cone or two.
A ribbon made into a bow
And I've a lovely gift for you.

I'll send it and attach this poem,
I hope you hang it on your door.
My winter garden's giving still
To you, to me, to birds and more.

The winter garden rests a bit
And seems to be a dying thing;
But like the gardener herself
It's readying itself for spring.

Joyce:  A charming poem and I love it! I was looking at the dying plants this morning and thinking about how they look in springtime.  It seems a long ways off but time does go fast.

Joyce~
Just perfect~

Today Bill and I hung a swag of greenery above the entry into the living room.
I had gathered Sycamore leaves last week and painted them ... they look so pretty hanging in the greenery with the pine cones~

I LOVE this season of decorating~

Soooooo lovely, Joyce! I need a swag of greenery and then my decorating is done! I'm really into it this year for some reason. I haven't felt that way for a long time! Your winter garden sounds lovely!

December's garden does seem rather bare and boring. No wonder our gardens show off in the spring!
Enjoyed your thoughts on your winter garden.

Joyce, you have captured a special moment so eloquently. Hmmmmmm....can another Wildflower be far behind?  

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost
