My year round decorating has a real country, primitive feel and gradually my Christmas decorations have followed suit. I wasn't always sure what 'look' I was going for and it took me a while to find my style. I use a lot of natural branches I found in the woods that have fallen. I never take from live trees. I hit the mother lode this year when I found the local utility company had cut some evergreens under a hydro line and left the resulting branches in the ditch. I snagged a bunch of branches and through them in the back of the truck.

Over all the decorations took me 2 hours to put up and I am very pleased with the result.
My porch is decorated as well with garland and bows but the temperatures warmed up and the snow all melted. I will take pictures once it snow again.
