Even though the holiday has come & gone here are a few things in my garden that gave me pleasure on a warm day recently.
Above the winter foliage of
Viburnum burkwoodii whose flowers have fantastic fragrance in the middle of winter encouraging you to go out in the garden.

Above Quercus nigra the huge Water Oak which shades half the house looses it's leaves over a long period of winter. Not sure if that is good or bad. A native looking lovely in it's fall dress.
At left the rain garden sans Swamp Sunflower & Goldenrod thanks to my husband who pulled them all up & shredded them back on to the ground.
Hooray for Helpful Husbands!
