   Your tableaus are beautiful, Jan...so boldly festive and interesting. I love the display of thick birch branches..I would never think to do that and it looks so great. That appears to be a humongous pinecone in the bench display...very eye catching. Thanks for the inspiration.

   I've been using those branches for a few years now. Every spring my 'garden helper' - he claims not to be knowledgeable enough to be called an assistant - kindly stores them in the rafters of the garage.

   Jan, you are very fortunate to get those greens for free. You have a knack for creating vignettes. Thanks so much for your photos! Please send some snow covered ones!

   Those arrangements look great. The blue spruce with the snowman looks like a shrub (maybe it is?). I bet it all looks even better with a covering of snow.

   The branches by the snowman are from a foxtail pine that was taken down nearby. Oddly, I seem not to have any pictures from when the snow was a foot deep.

   Well, as I suspected, the snow and blue shadows are a great foil for your art. The red ornaments in the first photo are just perfect!

   Very nice. Clever ways to cheer up the surroundings during the dark, bleak time of year. Nice evergreens

   So nice and thanks for all the ideas for next year! I have a lot of grape vine clippings every year, and had never thought of a snowman.

   Very nice, Jan. I love the bench and the scene with the snowman. There has been some great ideas over the past few weeks. I will have to try a few things next year. Great pictures.

   I will be making a trip to the Philadelphia Flower Show on Tuesday, March 14th. It would be cool to have an east coast GPOD get together. Give it some thought, everyone, and let me know. Unfortunately for me, this is the only date I can make it that week.

   I love all the interest you've got going on around your front door, Jan. The best part is that all you have to do is to remove the ornaments and you are set for the long winter ahead! Very fun!

    Hi fellow Wisconsinite, Jan! When I saw the title and then the first photo, I thought you must be in a parallel universe. Then I read the text and noticed your reply to Tim. Very nice arrangements. I like the bench display a lot.
