I'm Getting Too Old for This!
Every fall as we get closer to the Holidays, we get excited about decorating. Then after the Holidays, it is bitter cold, snowy and just plain nasty. This year I took that extra step in outside decorations. It was nice and warm and it took me several days, as I took my time putting them up and getting them just right.
I planned on taking it all down on New Years day, but the rain poured all day. The prediction was January 2nd would be the best day as shown by the 7 day forecast. January 3rd was bringing freezing rain, sleet, snow and ice, as well as falling temps., then downhill from there, so on January 2nd, I bundled up to face the balmy 28 degree weather. Many of the decorations were anchored in the frozen solid ground, which I had to chip away with a huge screwdriver and a hammer to loosen the ground.
At the end of the day, our yard again looked plain and boring and I looked exhausted. I stayed close to the fireplace and the the recliner close to the Television and the football playoff games.
I think maybe next year I may just put a wreath on the front door!
