A few weeks ago I visited Leu Gardens with my youngest daughter, oldest daughter, and three of my grandsons. I took a lot of autumn photos, including the decorations at the Leu House, a Victorian era museum home.
Today I went back with my two youngest daughters to meet up with a sweet friend and her two youngest daughters. The house is decorated for Christmas now!
Leu House

| The table on the front porch, where visitors wait for tours. |
 |
| Dining room |
 |
| The kitchen with pine tree trim on the curtain tops. |
 |
| This is the same hall table as the photo with the orange-brown art glass in my autumn post. I love the shadows from the natural light coming from the window. |

| Magnolias on the Christmas tree in the master bedroom - we're in the south, of course! |
Out in the Gardens

| Rose garden |
 |
| This rose reminds me of a peppermint candy cane. |

| In the butterfly garden |
 |
| Papaya |
 |
| Three jolly girls |
 |
| Can you see them now in the bamboo grove? |
 |
| Jessica and I are very old and dear friends from our former home school co-op. We have a lot in common, including a passion for history and a bunch of daughters. (She has four, I have seven.) Apparently we also both love purple shirts. |

| Camellia |
 |
| I love the interesting pattern of these leaves! |
