It started this morning with our 15 ft. ladder being too short. Thankful to our neighbor, he loaned us his boom truck.My gosh it was really cold & windy working out there...and then we found our first strings of lights were defective so after awhile they were sorted and we exchanged bulbs and finally got a string long enough to hang across the peak of the garage roof.. red & white bulbs...taking a warm up break.
We made a trip to town to get more lights to string across the garage door and for the two baby spruce trees in the front yard. Of course we needed extra extension cords and surge protectors. We decided on Green & Red lights for this part of the job.This took all afternoon.We were even more cold and glad to be finished. Now doesn't that look nice & Cheery? Time to go inside for a hot drink..and warm up..
The next project will be to get some fresh pine boughs for inside the house and the Entrance gate.. I think, unless I go get another string of lights & a star to place on the Blue Sky Farm Sign in the yard.. then I will be finished....I think.....well maybe not.. The chicken coop just may need some lights too...I think the" girls" would like that.....don't you?
We are expecting more snow tonight. Don't you think the lights will be even prettier reflecting in the snow?

Your house looks so nice and cheerful. I may put up a string or two, but that will be it. I love the C7 twinkle lights, but they are really, really hard to find. I think I have 2-3 strands left...
Since today is Dec. 1st, I need to get a little bit of decorating done. A little here and a little there, and it will all be up by the 15th. I don't get a tree anymore because of the cats. I also have a long tailed dog, so it would be trash before I got finished decorating ... LOL
Hugs,

Oh my, I didn't think I was gone from blogging this long but sure did have to catch up on my reading. The lights look so festive. I put mine up on Sunday and all was good until last night. I will have to investigate this evening if the rain will only stop! Enjoy the holidays!!!
