Advent

Advent is the time to prepare for Christmas but when can I find the time to prepare for advent?

I asked the compound gardener to save the boughs from pruning the junipers for me so I could make a fresh wreath this year. It was a small wreath since I decided to build around the Christmas pyramid, automatic candles...

There was a lot of greenery leftover so I also decided to deck the wood stove. Then I also had a lot of purple ribbon so I made a countdown chain. I was still tying bows frantically yesterday and hanging boughs today.

It's looking good but I ran out of camera batteries. Pictures of the advent stove will have to wait. I had to deputize the webcam for a few shots of cookie baking. Yes, they're very fuzzy. Better luck next time.
