Outside decorating

The outside needs decorating as well as the inside.

This is our front door with a wreath and a big red bow.




Our back door.










Let's not forget about our feathered friends.



I make sure all the feeders are filled.











This nandina berry bush is almost a decoration in itself.
The bright red berries are beautiful and also a good source of food for the birds during the cold winter months.

What a lovely wreath Donna!
And I love the color of the berries, I agree completely, they are a decoration on their own.;))

Your nandina is just beautiful. I love it and grew it when we lived in California. I think it's too cold here in Utah. Your tree is gorgeous. Mimi

How lovely! What a beauty of a front door - and all of your natural embelishments of the holiday. So, how different is it to be south during Christmas? I noted from your profile that you are originally from Lancaster. I think that it would be a challenge for me not to have my seasons ... although, by early February - I've had my fill!! LOL!

So glad to have found your site.
Blessings!
