The Front Door at the Big House Dressed for Autumn and Winter

If you click on this photo and enlarge it, you'll see that it really isn't as "Christmas" as it would appear.  We did use the slender hinoki in those big pots, because they'll be incredible done up for Christmas later in the season.  The "Antique Shades" pansy tends to look washed out sometimes against this brick (it's a terra cotta shade of brick), but I'm please with how it's playing off the Tuscan kale and the fading Limelight Hydrangeas.  Let's hope Missus agrees....
