Two by Two Tradition
This Noah's Ark tree at the Moody House is decorated with pairs of animals, nuts, teasels, and golden sleigh bells tied with red string. Tiny white lights, red candles, a wooden "cranberry" chain, and pieces of yarrow brighten the tree. Colonial Williamsburg reproduction toys and a Noah's Ark made by the author surround the base.
