Even though the landscape is stripped of leaves and blossoms, winter is by no means drab. However, the soft glow of strategically-placed lights add a welcoming touch.
Although summer's outdoor furniture has been stored away, a spiral lighted tree threesome and a 10-bulb set of Smith & Hawken drop string lights, hung from our front porch roof, provide a cozy glow at nightfall. The lights were a thoughtful gift from our daughter, Heather.
