Nanner nanner...didn't fall. I did, however spend eight hours outside creating beauty. Or something. It wasn't raining (yay) it wasn't icy (double yay) but it was cold. Well, by Oregon standards, anyway. About 38 degrees with a biting breeze that pulled the wind chill down to about 25. Presently, I'm basking in the heat from the pellet stove in the family room--which is turned up high enough to bring the temp in the room up to nearly eighty, and I'm still sitting here wearing an acrylic turtleneck sweater and a sweathirt. I stopped shivering about an hour ago. Probably would have warmed up a little quicker if I hadn't gone outside three times after dinner to take pictures to post here to prove I am still alive. Never say I don't make great personal sacrifices for the sake of my craft. (It is now raining, by the way...don't know how it could possibly be raining, as the air temperature is surely below freezing...) So, anyway, Holiday Job One is satisfactorily completed.
Absolutely perfect! Get warm, you did a great job!

Good job!! But, holy cow! That's ALOT of decorating for one person to do in such a short period of time.

P.S. What's a pellet stove? Is that an Schmaschookschanoianian term for a Ben Franklin or a wood stove?
Hi Lisa-
ReplyDeleteReally great job, it's so beautiful! Your pictures came out great. Bobby and I are also going to hang lights, hopefully this weekend. But I must totally be over my bronchitis before we do. We also have a pellet stove and it sure comes in handy on these cold witner nights doesn't it?

I am truly impressed! You are a credit to us girls.. And yes you are sooo dedicated to your craft! HAPPY HOLIDAYS. Sounds like you could have used a nice hot buttered rum last night to help you warm up! HEHEHE!
ReplyDeleteI just want to tell you that yesterday I came here and tried to comment but got kicked off for the millionth time that day, so I did not end up commenting, but I want you to know that seeing these pictures inspired me to do some decorating of my own....many thanks...
ReplyDeleteI'm very impressed. I haven't even finished cleaning up the kitchen from Thanksgiving....
ReplyDeleteSo I am totally impressed.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about maybe looking for the boxes of Christmas stuff. Now I'm thinking I'll just send out pictures of your lights and claim they're mine.
Cool Pics and nice decorating.

Hey Girlfriend...Your house looks like mine, of course, minus all those pretty lights! Dang...you did a great job! What a woman! You are my new hero...I wouldn't have got out there in that kind of weather, nor up on the roof. But, I would of joined in in front of the pellet stove with a cup of hot chocolate, laced with some Irish Cream! Lisa
ReplyDeleteThose are just gorgeous! The weather hasn't even been cold here the past couple of days. Almost seventy degrees. Yet I haven't put up any Christmas lights at all. :-/
