Gotta a sneak peak of a house on the next street over from ours. We can see the NW corner of their house from our laundry room. It was lit up on Thursday evening. The only down side was the last two seasons it morphed from multi - color to white and back, but it was burning steady multi color, last week. Maybe next week, when we're in fur real - fur sure mode it will be back in full, glorious force.
Let's hope so. And maybe more neighbors will join in.Gotta a sneak peak of a house on the next street over from ours. We can see the NW corner of their house from our laundry room.

Just channel your inner Alfred E Neuman and you will be all, but assured of winning that decorating contest.
Good Monday morning, Christmas friends!
Saturday was a freezing, rainy day...and Nancy made me work outside all day. We're still getting ready for Thanksgiving at our house, and she's making me clean the whole place in just a couple days. She's a taskmaster!
The kids came home to clean their rooms up Saturday afternoon, and they both stayed the night. We were so happy to have the house full again!
We took some more furniture to Jacob's apartment yesterday afternoon, AND I found a water leak in my yard, so I have to dig that up today. Great.
Still, it's not raining today, and I'm going to the mountains next weekend.
And Wednesday is our 25th anniversary! I think I have her convinced to keep me by now.
I hope y'all have a great day!
Thanks! My Dad never gave me any specific ornaments, but ever since his passing in April I (as well as my siblings and mother) keep seeing cardinals everywhere and believe that is a sign from him so I have purchased a few cardinal Christmas decorations this year. I believe I will decorate a white tree with red and cardinals from now on to keep him close to our home each Christmas. I am amazed at how many cardinals I notice now that he is passed! And each time I see one out my window I silently (and sometimes out loud) say "Hi Dad!" So I believe a cardinal tree is definitely in my Christmas future. He once made both my sister and I bird feeders shaped like and painted like a cardinal, so it is only fitting that I see them all the time now to remind me of him!

Thanks Crown! Happy Week Before Thanksgiving!************
A Merry Milestone Monday Morning, Folks!
The last -- the VERY last marker of 2019 -- is here.
Now, it's clear sailing on through the rest of the Season and the year!
Days to Thanksgiving: 10 (SINGLE DIGITS TOMORROW!)
Days to Christmas Day: 37 (FIVE weeks from the day after tomorrow!)
And that final Milestone?
It's the 90 percent marker to Christmas Day 2019.
The Home Stretch to Christmas has begun!!
It continues dry, sunny and chilly here in central NC but it's getting very gradually warmer each day.
As this week progresses, we will go from a predicted high of 49 for today up to 64 degrees for Friday before we cool off again. A 60 percent chance of rain shows for today, then dry conditions should prevail at least until Friday.
Our week-starting temperature reading is 45 degrees here in the capital city.
Have a Marvelous Milestone Monday, Guys.
And a great week ahead!
