Lights

On Saturday we had temps above freezing, so I decided to put out a few outdoor holiday lights. Initially, I wanted to splice two rope LED light strings together and make one long string. I worked at it for probably a half hour and couldn't get it to work. So, I just used two electrical chords for them...they were supposed to be easy to splice together ;-)

After seeing the way the lights looked on Sat. night, I decided I wanted to change them. So, on Sunday I re-did the lights outside and added a few more strings of lights. I'm happy with this second attempt. I would have taken a picture, but the temperature fell like a rock from about 37 degrees on Sunday morning to 5 below zero Sunday night. By the time night came it was just way too cold to attempt taking pics outside.

Today, there was a beautiful pair of sundogs and a ring around the sun. Of course, I was at work and didn't have my camera. It was quite impressive though.

Richard went back to work today. It's going to take him a little while to get back into the routine of working after being off work for almost two months.
