I stick the boughs in there (and sometimes add those red dyed twigs you see in floral shops) until the box is very full and lush. I repeat in each window box in front of every "exposed window. It's nothing major and not expensive, but it's surprising how much of a difference it makes, both mentally and visually. When you look out, you see bits of green and a shielded view. And people looking at your house see loveliness. :)Susan as Herselfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09665517309910285209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963432418989382127.post-51887381248411348902007-10-02T13:50:00.000-04:002007-10-02T13:50:00.000-04:00I try to celebrate sluggish lounging in the Winter...I try to celebrate sluggish lounging in the Winter. In the Summer I feel too guilty, but when Winter rolls around, I get so into the comfort side of things. I love blankets and pillows, and gigantic ugly sweatpants (of course, I'm single and the way I'm going,probably will be for life) and watching movies and playing video games. I highly recommend embracing it too.Churlitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05018288474865559384noreply@blogger.com
