The garden is deeply asleep in its winter slumber, but according to Husband, that's no excuse for it to not be beautiful around our home
These are some of our winter decorations
Husband is very talented, he was a professional gardener for more than 30 years with many notable clients
This is a view from the gazebo in the back garden
My favorite spot in the back garden
On an unseasonably warm day, you might find me sitting here remembering the summer's blooms
Most of the decorations are illuminated
Soon, I'll post some night photos
Yes, the grass is still that green... it's been very slow to enter its winter dormancy and I've toyed with cutting it one more time
Our home in the woods* is ready for Christmas and the long winter yet to come
* We live in the City of Detroit proper... "Home in the woods" is an homage to the name of our subdivision (Russell Woods) and to my mother's birthplace of Itta Bena, Mississippi whose place name is derived from the Choctaw phrase "iti bina," meaning "forest camp" later anglicized to "Home in the Wood"
