Linda Renslear has a great eye for repurposing in Michigan
" We live on three acres in Holly , Michigan , and have been here for 33 years now . We have uprise many Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree , shrubs , perennial and veggies . This time of year we point out the 60 foot Frasier Firs that we planted to rationalize for Christmas trees … they were just too pretty to cut . Some parts of our home were originally build in 1820 , with great sight from each windowpane . There is a creek across the road to the south . To the north , there are pond on both the north and west facing side . These ponds belong to the neighbors , so we get the scene without paying the revenue enhancement . I love reusing items . The Earth on the tree with the snow baby-sit on them are from the swag lamp of the 60 ’s . They have been hanging outdoors year round for twenty years now " .
