DIY Project ~ Make a Fresh Rosemary Wreath!
Rosemary is a tender perennial here in Delaware, so I just hauled my two big, bushy Rosemary plants into the laundry room for the winter. They were a bit leggy, so I decided a haircut was in order as I settled them into their cold weather location. A few snips later, I had lovely
