Tis Almost the Season

It occured to me as I was driving past the garden center today that I have a house perfect for putting outdoor lights on. As someone who has been an apartment dweller through my entire adulthood, the prospect was both scary and exciting. So I ordered a ton of pine rope, some bigass red ribbon and grabeed a few strands of all white non blinking outdoor lights. My lawn dudes, for a surprisingly modest fee ($25/hour for two guys, their estimate was one hour), put up and take down decorations it turns out, and so I will engage them, photos to come. I made a fire tonight after dinner and it started to sink in that this lifestyle is more of a change than I bargained for. Not better or worse, but different for sure.

good thing the lights are all white, wot. ;-) totally coveting your fireplace and somewhat missing san francisco where apartments frequently had them. tho didn't actually need them, come to think of it. except if you take into account the complete lack of insulation. but I digress. tallyho, exmass!
