Gathering Greenery

Here are some pictures of this years greenery gathering. We had great weather (which means no rain) and the traditional lunch of crackers and cheese, fruit, veggie sticks, a treat (this year it was pumpkin bread) and hot chocolate. I have been making wreaths for about 42 years now. I love making something beautiful out of stuff from the earth. For me, it is one of the best parts of Christmas. (actually, once it is made, it is the best part. before that, well???????)

Another Cool Quote

"The season of the world before us will be like no other in the history of mankind. Just as this is the dispensation of the fullness of times, so it is also the dispensation of the fullness of evil. There is no safety in the world: wealth cannot provide it, enforcement agencies cannot assure it, membership in this church alone cannot bring it. We must come to the temple for light and safety. There are hosts of unseen sentinels watching over and guarding our temples. There will come a period of time when even the elect will lose hope if they do not come to the temples. They will long to bring their children here for safety's sake. The covenants and ordinances will fill us with faith as a living fire. In a day of desolating sickness, scorched earth, barren wastes, sickening plagues, disease, destruction, and death: we as a people will rest in the shade of trees, we will drink from the cooling fountain. We will abide in places of refuge from the storm, we will mount up as on eagle's wings."
