Finished installing evergreens and hydrangeas into the window boxes. I use chicken wire rolled into a tube shape to hold the evergreen branches in place. These branches will last all winter. Even when it snows a lot. I like having the window boxes decorated for Winter. It all goes into the compost in Spring and I save the chicken wire in the garage until the next season.

No filter needed for tonight’s sunset. Wow!

I’m planning to widen this border come Spring to make more space for perennials and small flowering bulbs. Plus..less grass to cut 😉. I’m glad the new arborvitae hedge is finally filling in a bit. It got squashed during an ice storm a couple years ago when the white pine branches crashed down on it. Gardening will teach you patience if nothing else 😊.

Last night got pretty windy 🌬 which meant I had hundreds of those crazy pods from a neighbor’s locust tree to pick up this morning. Not my favorite thing to do, but I have to say... just being outside most of the day was the perfect start of Advent. #beautifulday☀️
