holiday stick bundle

Since Maggie and I will be out of town for a week right in the middle of the holiday season, and since the past few weekends have been pretty busy, we decided against a trip to the Snowies to capture a Christmas tree in the wild.  But, since I also wanted to have something festive, I decided to assemble something that wouldfeel vaguely seasonal. Maggie is calling it her Christmas stick bundle, but I think it turned out pretty well.  It's a set of three baby cottonwood (??) trees from my backyard, from a stump that just won't die.  After the leaves came off these trees earlier this fall, I trimmed the stump back down, and these were some of the trimmings.  I drilled holes into a quarter of a pallet that I'd reclaimed from the local wood-stove store, arranged the trunks, and then decorated with white lights and some red jingle bells.  Happy holidays!
