All lit up
In the desert, we compensate for no snow or ice by putting up lots of lights.
The neighborhood is burgeoning with displays and we are no exception.
The two trees that bracket the front wall have large icicles with led lights in side.
Today, John came home with a huge set of net lights to cover the inside and outside of the wall itself.
No stinting at our house.
Well, we have an image to hold up. One of us is a big wheel in the condo association and "they" all look to us to be a power of example.
We have some new neighbors across the way, one also named Earl (imagine!) who are still working on their stuff and so far it is looking pretty good.
Around the corner there are a lot of lights going up and down the street.
When we first moved here we laughed at this need for ostentatious display in the face of a hot and sunny winter.
But now, we are right into the same boat with the other compensators. And isn't it fun?
