Decorating

43°f/6.1°C, overcast and misty.

Real November weather we're having here, cold, damp, and gray. But I have been brightening up inside as I clean and decorate. I am nearing the finish line on cleaning, thank goodness. I have certainly stirred the dust as I get fits of sneezing! 

This took a while with fiddling around to get everything in the right place and plugged in. 
 




Outside, Larry put up some colored lights around two doors to mix with the clear one we did last week.




AC, I found those changing color lights! The local Walmart had them. They don't have the same impact as yours against your house, but I still like them.  The color doesn't show too well in my photos, either. 



I may just leave them in year-round!

Time to get dressed and out the door. Have a great day, friends.

    1. Yep! Mostly because I have to do my booths by mid-November, so while I'm getting it out, might just as well do the house too. And given all Larry's appointments in December, I don't know if I would have time to do it! We enjoy it anyway...and he can get the outside lights up while the weather is still decent.

  8. Looks splendiferous. I don't think you needed my little lights, but I'm glad that you found them.

  9. The lights, especially in the picture of your door, are so pretty! And the glow of the lamp within. Nice to come in from outside, I bet!

  10. I am loving your decor! I have been working on Christmas around here as well. A bit early? Yes, but enjoyable!

  11. A lush and lovely display. I fear my cats would raise havoc with the breakables.

  12. WOW!!! Larry did a supergreat job!!!! This is wonderful!!! I bet your visitors stand in awe for minutes before coming in! I would! This is very beautiful!
    I remember in the late 1990´s I was studying in Hildesheim and three Christmas-Coca-Cola-Trucks drove through the inner city - it was magic (and I had no camera).
    Yes, leave them on! Our neighbor hopefully puts out his huge, orange star that shines in the dark - he leaves it long into January! (after I said how much I love it, he left it out two more weeks :-)... we live in a yard and can shout over).

  13. I love it! We are still decorated for fall as we have guests coming for Thanksgiving. I am sure Barb will be into full Christmas mode after next week.
