My mother-in-law Carol came over this week and helped me make the most gorgeous addition to our front porch. Being a new homeowner and all, I am unlearned in the routines of proper home maintenance and decorating. Tom and I are continually learning! So naturally, I was at a loss as to what to do with my sparse and empty-looking urn once the summer bliss had wilted. It was doomed to detract from the house’s charm as it just wasted away on our front step, inviting sympathetic stares at every glance. Enter Carol, my landscape fairy!! I was astonished at how simple the process really was. You basically stick evergreen branches into the pot full of soil and VOILA!! But even more importantly, the kids and I were able to spend a lovely day with Carol, eating lunch and making Christmas cookies. I count myself truly fortunate to have married into such a wonderful family!!
