I don't know about any of you, but some days my spirit is down for one reason or another, and I need a pick-me-up of sorts.  It happens to me after certain holidays, so it must have something to do with the low after the rush....Well, yesterday I took a walk in the woods and cut some fresh pine branches to make an arrangement for a friend of mine who has opened a new coffee shop.  I was going through the motions, pulling through with a favor that I had committed to.  I had forgotten how great it smells to breathe in the aroma of pine needles. I went to two different sites (I love pilfer-aging in the woods) and found some great foliage and sumac. Then, proceeded to cut some dried hydrangeas, and sprayed them with glitter paint.  I brought all of my findings to the coffee shop, along with a large vase full of soil from my garden.  By the end of the evening, my energy level had lifted at least 60%(even though by then I was famished from the treks in the woods and making the arrangement)!

Today is another great day for a walk in the woods...I feel like Red Riding Hood!  Want to join me?
