Before I did the turkey, I took a walk. Here are some pictures from my yard this snowy morning. A little crabapple tree in the woods has these 4 little apples hanging on for dear life. I wonder why they are left?
This is an old iron lawn ornament that I use as a backdrop for a statue. I have taken a picture from the front before, but the snow is on the back today.
The reason that Joe didn't want me to clean up the woods was the fact that there were barbed wire fences lying in the tall weeds. I just took the barbed wire and twisted it into wreath shapes and hung them in the woods. I like them. This one will have some grapevines twisting around it in the summer. In the fall, I just take the vines off...because I like to watch how they twist and partially cover the wreath each year. It's different every year.
Speaking of grapevines...how's this for a grapevine? It must be very old. I love it just as it is all gnarled and twisted. 
A little birdhouse in the clematis vine. It was home to a wren last year. I wonder who will take up residence this year? I think they like it because the vine covers it a bit in the summer. I work out in that area a lot and those little stinkers just chatter and scold me endlessly. I can't wait for their return.
I can smell the turkey roasting...we'll have mashed potatoes, gravy, dressing, corn, cranberry relish, a relish tray, squash, and those wonderful slices of turkey. Come on over...dinner's at 3.
PS: Noelle at http://www.azplantlady.com/ has an idea. She thought we could post a picture of a bouquet from our yards each month. I think that it's a great idea. It will really be a challenge for we gardeners in the North..to come up with something creative during the winter. Why don't you go over and read her post today to find out more about it?
