Nothing Says Welcome Like a Hubcap
Since moving to downtown Springfield, I've had less time and less access to evergreenery. Yet I've usually still managed to scrounge stuff, like the times I came upon the downed pine tree, or the abandoned Christmas tree lot with its pile of leftover branches, or the giveaway last year at Walmart. This year, however, I had no such luck. I had a tree, but that was about it.
Well, I also had some oversized glass balls that I'd been stockpiling, but had never used. Amir, always a good sport, agreed to put them up for me on the porch. I gave him instructions to hang them at different heights, and left the rest to him. I think he did a pretty good job.
I snipped enough off my scraggly backyard pine tree and pathetic little holly bush to make one swag over the kitchen door. No way I could stretch the stuff into a pair of wreaths for the double doors, though. I was feeling very frustrated, but then I thought, why not just let yourself go with the urban flow? The essence of a wreath is its circular form, and circular forms you've got aplenty. Even two that match. I knew I was collecting those hubcaps for something.
