Outdoor Holiday Events 2016
December 17, 2016
OF COURSE I want you to get outside and enjoy the winter landscape, but I’ll understand if also want to drink hot cocoa by the fire, too. Remember that our trees, shrubs, and perennials need winter just as much as they need the other seasons, and there is a beautiful glory to cold weather and snow. So bundle up and get out there!
