Or not. This year, I strung lights along the deck railing. You can't tell it by this photo, though, unless you look real hard. I find my confidence on ladders is waning, especially when it's raining and everything is wet. So the lights end up where I don't have to climb.
You can find the lights strung along the wrought iron rail in front of the sliding glass doors.
It was raining when I snapped this photo from our neighbors' yard.
We can see the lights from inside the house and it's festive, so we don't feel like we're missing anything. Christmas Eve is in two days! I'm looking forward to our traditional cheese fondue.
Glad you’re hesitant to brave ladders now. Not worth the risk. We were going to put lights on the terrace, but we’d have to go out and buy them. So, never mind.
ReplyDeleteA belated happy birthday, Walt. That steak au poivre that Ken posted today looks delicious. Bon anniversaire!
ReplyDeleteYes, ladders are no longer our friends. I bet those lights look good inside as well as out. My street has lots of roof lightenings which are beautiful and bright. The light still shines in the darkness and all that...
ReplyDeleteWise decision regarding ladders. As you say, now you can see them from inside and out. They are very festive.

Hoping your birthday steak au poivre dinner was delightful... I know it was delicious!
ReplyDeleteSeeing the lights from inside the house is wonderful :)
Happy Birthday! We are also a No Ladder household, and the lights are perfect. -- Chrissoup
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday! My husband says that nobody over 50 should be climbing ladders.
