The Evergreen

There’s something to be said for the many different ways to celebrate this beautiful time of year. Having a symbolic evergreen inside the home, adorned with tiny memories on little metal hooks and ribbons, is one that it would pain me to skip!

The evergreen shows us that even in the dark, cold winter, there is much life, (and spiritually speaking, EVERLASTING life!)

This morning we loaded up in our friends big ol’ blue VW van and headed out to Corner Crest Natural Farm, where a simple little family (of unschoolers!) handed us a saw and let us wander their natural acreage to find our unsprayed, unshaped, naturally perfected Christmas Noble. I’m so looking forward to spending time decorating this tree with handmade meaning this year.

Beauty.
