And good that you used what you had on hand to make your wreath. It certainly gets harder to carry on traditions the longer you are away. Today is the first day of Ramadan -- I am not Muslim, but my husband is, so this begins his month of fasting. Very difficult during these long, hot summer days.

Sometimes I forget to celebrate such festivals, but when I do finally make effort to stick to my origin, I get loads of satisfaction from this.<br />By the way, I didn't tear away the branches, but took them from those which were removed as excessive greenery, which was already dominating over other plants.Balancing.
