ur front porch is an important elementto the overall look of our home. Nomatter what the style, rememberyou’re creating the entry to your ownspecial “wonderland.” You can create a
very simple look — or something quite elabo-rate. The choice is yours!
Here are some ideasfor sprucing up yourspace.
Let’s start at the door.Traditionally, a wreath isplaced on the door. Bayleaf or rosemary sprigsadded to the wreath canbring in different fra-grances than just thepine. You can add orna-ments and ribbons formore color. I like to usethe “over the door”hanger as to not damagethe door and hang the wreath securely.
Succulent wreaths are quite interesting but alittle heavy for the door. Use them on a nearbytree trunk or on a porch column. To water soakthese wreaths, soak them about once a week ina big saucer and then hang them back up.
Live garland works really welloutside — and the entry is theperfect spot. You will have lessneedle drop because of ourdamp, foggy weather and whatdoes drop is much easier to cleanup.
I like to decorate the garlandsmore sparsely than the wreath onthe door but with the sametheme. This way the doorbecomes your focal point.
Magnolia branches are anotherwonderful foliage to add to themix. It looks beautiful with itsnatural sheen — or with a floristpaint. A dusting of gold looksespecially good and creates a lot of contrast.
Although the poinsettia is quite spectacular, itdoesn’t like our cold. I like to use Yuletidecamellias as a good substitute. “Coned” box-wood, bay leaf, rosemary or texanum in potscreate a formal look. You can plant cyclamenand ivy at the base to finish off the look of yourpot. Azaleas are also good choices.
Pots used on the porch for Christmas can laterbe moved around for different events or sea-sons. For now, they will work well to upgrade
your front porch. Try somegroupings of pots placed downthe front walk to accent thepathway to the door. I like to usedifferent arrangements withsome plants being the same tocreate a theme.
Use luminaries for a charmingeffect.
Solar lights can brighten upthe pathway without the prob-lems with cords; candles canwork as well.
Christmas Cactus are quiteunique and beautiful — and theycan take some cold. I like to usesmall white lights to add a little
frost protection on my sensitive plants. Keepthem up near the entry for more protection.
No matter how you choose to enhance yourfront porch, it will welcome your guests intoYOUR wonderland — not to mention greet youwith that holiday spirit each time you returnhome!
For more “Ideas for Decorating Your Porch"”join us at Robby’s Nursery Saturday, Dec 4. Theseminar will begin at 1 p.m.We will have thespiced cider brewing!

FROM WWW.MYBAKERSFIELDSPORTS.COMhe fall season may not be atraditional basketball sea-son, but when you playyear round, it’s just asimportant as the others.
The Bakersfield Heat AAU GirlsBasketball Club tipped off its fallseason recently and played twogames every other Sunday at Cues-ta College in San Luis Obispothrough Oct. 24.
“It’s close to two hours away, buttravel is what club teams do,” saidBakersfield Heat executive headcoach Jim Parks, who compiled a212-69 coaching record over nineyears in the junior college ranksbefore being inducted into the Cal-ifornia Community College Bas-ketball Coaches Association’sMen’s Hall of Fame.
The Heat is a nonprofit organiza-tion that was formed in the mid-1990s. It will have two or threeteams this fall: a sixth-grade team,a seventh- and eighth-gradesquad, and possibly a junior varsityteam.
Among the Bakersfield Heatteams that excelled during thespring season were the sixth-gradeteam, which won the May Mayhemand Top Gun tournaments; theseventh-grade squad that capturedthe Top Gun Tournament; and thefifth-grade and eighth-gradeteams, which placed first in theirdivisions at the CW Hoopfestevent.
Individual CW Hoopfest MVPswere Alyssa Garcia, Julie Olivera,Maricela Romero and VanessaSpears.
“The Bakersfield Heat PremierAAU Girls Basketball Club is ahighly competitive youth basket-ball program that maintainsintegrity as a priority at all times,”Parks said. “We provide the bestpossible facilities, equipment,training and coaches so that all
players can achieve competitivegreatness and maximize their indi-vidual athletic and personal poten-tial.”
