The garden in winter in Charlotte

Yeah, yeah, I know most of the snow is melted or turned into a muddy mess.
But more snow could arrive this weekend, so here's a quick look at the beauty of the snow when it first fell.
And these photos reflect the garden in winter, something Elizabeth Lawrence wrote about poignantly in her book, "A Southern Garden."
More snapshots soon, of kids and families and dogs playing in the snow on Merryview.
