branching out

  I had the dream for some time but had been too lazy to search
 out a "proper" branch.
Imagine my happiness to find THIS perfect one
lying across an evergreen tree in our backyard--
apparently deposited by the wind in a most convenient place for me!
  I placed it in a tree holder I found recently at a thrift store.
Now it stands on our front porch decked sparingly with a few thrifted ornaments.
 Even the "berries" seem suited for the season!
(Bags of assorted and very interesting ornaments were priced at $.25 
at my Second Favorite Thrift Store!  I've used many of them to add 
to bows on gift packaging or even for gifts themselves!)

    1. Actually I have a 3rd Favorite, too! (Honestly, I sometimes get the 2nd and 3rd mixed up. One week it's one; the next week the other.)
