February 8, 2013 -- Delaware 3

Here's what you do when you don't have clippers and must rely on plant material on the ground! This Norway spruce branch was lying on the ground (brought down by a storm, I guess) as were these cones. I appropriated one of my host's beautiful tureens to use as "vase." I actually learned something from doing this, because I kept trying to make the cones stand up before I figured out they looked better lying down.
