Winter is a cozy season , a time to find a good book , a piping hot drink , and a spot beside the fire . I think part of what makes winter so cozy is the whipping winds , the drifts of snow , and those miles of icy land just outside the window . I ’ m convinced that if you bundle up occasionally and venture out into that cold world , you ’ ll have a keener appreciation for the delicious feeling of snuggling under a blanket .
Most plants and flowers rest during the winter months . But if you go for a tramp through the woods some afternoon with your eyes wide open , you might be surprised at how many evergreens , berries , and even bare twigs you ’ ll find to coax into beautiful arrangements indoors . Here ’ s a tutorial for a wintery garland to get your creative ideas flowing .
