This wreath is exactly what I hoped it would be. It is about five feet in diameter, made with assorted pine branches, cones from a white-pine, and clusters of wild rose hips. It took a bit of effort to hang it above the mantle, the tall ladder and the tall husband.

The Christmas Wreath 

evergreen

eternal life

the hope of spring in the dead of winter

the circle of life

a crown

the king.
