I guess 7:30 on a Sunday morning is early for some people, so I will count this as my Saturday post, although WordPress will not credit me for a four day streak. How the mighty have fallen! I used to never miss days. I think I was in my 40s or 50s back then (wow, I have been blogging for a long time!).
Only I’m not that skinny.
I decided to throw in a picture to pep things up, as I often do, and that was when my Tablet started behaving badly. Now I am on my dining-room-table-top ten-finger typing. Now I still have not much to say but can say it faster.
Yesterday (Saturday) was a lovely day. I got my Christmas lights hung. By that I mean that I switched out a string of pumpkins for a string of multi-colored lights and Witchy for Santa Claus. Traditionally I leave Santa and Witchy out all year, dressing them for the holidays with which they are not usually associated. This past Halloween, however, as I was putting up lights on the actual day, I took Santa off the porch and put him in my living room. Look at me, going all conventional in my old age. SAY IT AIN’T SO!!! I had a little trouble with the colored lights: they had worked in my house when I tested them a few weeks ago, but they declined to light up after I had gotten them hung. Luckily I had another string of colored lights. Now I have no colored lights on my mantle, but these things happen and we must deal with them. Anyway, I will try to get some pictures of my porch later today for a future blog post (preview of coming attractions).
He looks a little ghostly, no?
Here is my porch on another year, when I was a little closer to having my act together, and my husband was able to participate in the light-hanging.
I see I am over 300 words, not bad for a late, insubstantial post. As always, I will strive to do better, but I feel that almost any post is better than no post at all. Do you agree? Discuss amongst yourselves.
