Rosemary Wreath

I finally got around to making a wreath to hang by our front door.  I wanted to forage for greens from our yard, and decided to use cuttings from the rosemary plant in our garden.  The wreath is as plain as plain can be; I didn’t even have a bow to put on it.  But I like its simple grace.
