Winter Berries Yard Clippings

Many years ago I helped my granny and mother gather greenery,pine cones,red berries.for our "Fancy porch wreaths". baskets sitting on the porch filled with nuts and walnuts~...

Times haven't changed over the years...we stll cut and stack our wood for winter,
The wheelbarrow will be filled with "Gatherings from Nature"~
The porch railing will have branches from the fir trees,tied with jute string.. magnolia branches,red berries...pine cones in old baskets,
a bird nest here and there..
