Get up with the sun and behold a day full of nature’s wonders

Whether your holidays are just over or about to begin, there are gifts awaiting you right now. These presents come free. They need neither wrapping nor assembly. You just have to watch for them.
Stand still and watch the sun rise tomorrow morning. The majesty of the daybreak is humbling and joyful at any time, but now, notice carefully where the sun first eases over the horizon. It is surprisingly far south. Catch the sunrises over the next few weeks. Each morning, it will peek up a little bit further toward the east. This is proof positive that spring and summer are on the way. All is right with the world.

The Experience of Awe in Nature Leads to Religious Beliefs

Holiday decorating with nature: arrange with berries and boughs, branches and big blooms

INSTEAD OF glamming up with shine and sparkles for the holidays, why not look out the window for decorating inspiration?
Natural materials like greens and branches, berries and flowers are a breath of fresh air amid all the overdecorating that goes on this time of year. And they’re mostly free.
Nicole Cordier, front-desk manager at the Seattle Wholesale Growers Market in Georgetown, practices admirable restraint for a woman surrounded by temptations. I stopped into the market a few weeks ago to see what greenery and blooms might be available through the holidays to supplement what you grow yourself, or to provide new and different materials to play around with. Cordier wandered the market, pulling ‘Café au Lait’ dahlias and branches of blue-berried juniper for holiday arrangements.
