The Outdoor Lights
By December 1st we are planning to have our outdoor lights and farm decorations ready to go. As with most things we are running behind again this year. It is not for the lack of trying though. During the Thanksgiving break we did our best to get some things done. I don't imagine that we will pass any OSHA regulations, but we really are careful about the job. It looks much worse than it is. Ho, Ho, Ho! Let the decorating begin.

Outside Lights Set Aglow for Now
Our decorating is not enormous in comparison to other folks, but it is all that we seem to be able to get done. None of us are too eager to climb in high places, and just trying to find enough plugs for the job is a strain. Maybe we will finish by Christmas.
