I'll start! I had this wreath custom made and because we live in a not-so-nice area, I put it up really high on the greenhouse so it won't get stolen.

Go Memphis Tigers!!

Melissa, I'm from Memphis. Where are you? So many nice places there are "not so nice" anymore. It's a shame. It used to be such a great place to live.

Hello Holly, I love your chicks.
If you are close to the Poplar Corridor then you are pretty safe, and Midtown is great, also the eastern suburbs. I must say you are correct, it's not the Memphis I grew up in, but there is a deep love of the city still.

I'm afraid the only "decoration" my GH will have is the snow topping it off and the cedar trees that hang down behind it !

The one in my little "Christmas Village" is a bit more festive...

I love midtown! I lived on Eastmoreland at Avalon. The house was built in 1903 and was so beautiful.

I found a box of old decorations. I think they will fit perfectly in my greenhouse!

There's no room in my greenhouse to decorate Rolling on the floor laughing Every bit of bench/sidewall space is occupied by plants.

Yep, Methodist is right down the street! Nice to meet you too, Bert. I heard they are going to make the Sears Crosstown building into condos. Seems like they've been talking about doing something with that building for decades!

That building is full of problems, but the neighborhood went down with it being empty. Church health Center is moving in so they can spread out instead of occupying lots of smaller sites on Peabody! Happy Holidays!
