Fresh White Pine

Thank you, Lord, for the fresh white pine roping draped along the rails inside and out — today’s task now complete.

With 300' of fresh white pine roping draped along the rails inside and out, it feels like our home's wrapped in a warm, cozy scarf. It's time for a steaming cup of hot chocolate!

What a lovely welcoming way to greet friends - a delightful entry into your home.

Very pretty, and the first time I've ever seen this explained. We don't have this here, but I've seen photos throughout the years.

I love this photo & your accompanying commentary. Following as well.

@milaniet @janeandcharlie @teresamaro Thank you all so much for your kind words!

@janeandcharlie It is quite common here to drape porch and stair railings with roping (also referred to as garland). We like to use the fresh white pine, but some folks use artificial. Either way, it's festive and fun! :)

@teresamaro I really appreciate your comment and follow! :) :) :)

These are lovely garlands, i expect they add to the festivities with their lovely fresh smell.
