Wreath of the Day – Harlequin

Today’s wreath shows that simple design can be spectacular.  Not that this wreath was simple to make.  If you look closely, you’ll see various greens enriching the basic balsam, and the positioning of the very dramatic bow is echoed by the sprays of gold pearls.  The designer names each of her wreaths, and this one is Harlequin.

Sunday, December 21, 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm – Dune to Tavern, a Solstice Stroll at the Crane Wildlife Refuge

Join The Trustees of Reservations for a leisurely hike through the dunes of the Crane Wildlife Refuge in Ipswich to celebrate the winter solstice. On this, the shortest day of the year, we’ll take advantage of the dark with a stroll beneath the stars. We’ll warm up after our walk with hot cider and refreshments in the Tavern at the Inn at Castle Hill: the perfect balance to counteract the bustle of the holiday season! Please note: We will be hiking up and down dunes, through soft sand, for approximately 2½-3 miles. Dress for the weather to maximize comfort and minimize misery! Water is always good to have along. $20 for TTOR members, $25 for nonmembers. Pre-registration required at 978-810-5892, or email dantczak@ttor.org.
