Dripping in Jeweled Christmas Lights * Achieve Radio

Around the Holidays I am shamelessly dripping in jeweled Christmas lights.  Suddenly my garden arches explode into Heavenly entrances of white, my 5 ft cement angel sparkles in gold, and the entrance to my house is lit up.  My eyes constantly scan for improvements; ...one more electrical light brush stroke to the composition. I could give a hoot about gifts, although I do cherish a great plate of frosted cookies.

At 4:30 I leash my dog and we walk up and down the streets to view the neighbor lights.  I love the Blue light framed houses, and notice an all white color scheme is pristine and beautiful, but also, {maybe, safely age related.} It seems the older one gets the more important it becomes to be neighborhood acceptable and blend.  Not so houses with children that relish in lots of color.  I strive for a balance. 

Every year I tell myself I will pack the lights neatly, unwind them gently, and mark them as to where they go.  It is a wonderful organized high to pack them in layers in my trunk, and better yet to unpack them during the Holidays.  I am a child again opening boxes of treasure.

The next time I will take on this obsession is in the spring, when my lane explodes into jewels of laborious plantings of orchestrated tulip and spring flowers.   http://ann-marie-odell.com
