I had to take some pictures of the gardens!

Warmer shoes for fall footprints
Summer Shoes
A Welcoming Wreath
The Christmas wreath remains on our door through January. It is a festive reminder of the holiday season and the fun times shared with children and grandchildren.
Winter Wonderland
I love the tracery of bare branches against a wintry sky, and the magical sight of a yard covered with fresh snow. It is a gift of quiet beauty in an often-frenzied world.
Puzzlemania!
It's fun to do puzzles on the porch in warm weather, but they're a perfect pasttime in the winter, too. This winter scene, with lots of cute birdhouses in the snow, is very appropriate right now.
Hot Chocolate
This is a winter must! Now that the temperature is hovering around zero, there's nothing like a mug of hot chocolate (with marshmallows or whipped cream, of course) to warm us up.
Snow Couple
One of my favorite winter things is snow people...we collect them in all shapes and sizes.
A stack of good books
One winter necessity is plenty of books to read while curled up under a cozy blanket.
Love those autumn leaves!
A few leaves have started to change to the beautiful hues of fall.
A Complete Meal?
We love these autumn fruits...apples, pears, plums, grapes and...fish?
Pool Closed
The pool is all buttoned up for the cold months - just in time to keep the fall leaves out!
Autumn Flowers
Dad's sedums by the pool are in full bloom.
Butterfly Magnet
We love seeing the hummingbirds and butterflies that come to our butterfly bush.
A Box of Begonias
Harold marvels at these plants..they are survivors! The woodchucks ate the coleus from these boxes and left these behind. Not as tasty?
Summer Path
There is tranquility in a shady path.
Summer Challenge
The screen porch is a perfect place to find a few pieces in passing.
Summer Welcome
Some flowers the woodchucks, rabbits, squirrels and chipmunks didn't get!
Winston's Favorite Activity
Not just a summer favorite.
