I love evergreens. Good thing because I live in the north woods and am surrounded by evergreens of every shape and size.

They are the stuff of home decorating and I make good use of them to make my house beautiful and aromatic, though I hate the way they scratch! Why can’t evergreen needles be soft and comfortable?

But I manage. I wear long sleeved shirts and thick gloves on my forays into the forest that surrounds my yard that I consider my own home decorating store.
