The weekend we bought our Christmas tree,
I filled our windowboxes with evergreen
from our tree and from Lowes
(they kindly give away anything they have cut off from the trees.)
Finding some old red lanterns in our basement,
I placed them in the windowboxes,
nestled within the greenery.
Simple and perfect, except the lanterns were old and so was the glass.
As I took them out,
I decided that before next year,
I would buy a couple of cheaper lanterns,
paint them red,
and use them next Christmas.
Then, I promptly forgot all about them.
Last weekend, Steve went shopping
(at Walmart on a Saturday - what a brave man!)
Later that day, he gave me an early gift - two red lanterns!
I thought this was the sweetest gift!
Take care,
Denise
