The advantages of gathering greenery on this mild Sunday afternoon?  It was not too cold, my parents' forest was beautiful with the snow and it was quiet and serene.  The disadvantages:  it was not too cold, which meant dragging Grace on a toboggan along a very muddy path, while she let her beautiful pink mittens drag on the ground on either side of the toboggan.  Can you say laundry night?  Good times, good times....
