Update on my lights

Well as you know that we’re having light issues this year. And to be honest – we kind of have them every year for some reason and I guess I should just get used to it right? But I knew that I needed extra lights for our fence outside and off to the store I went to buy them. I did end up seeing some that would work perfect .. and they were on sale .. and I had a 15% coupon… AND I had another coupon for $10 off. I’m Living the good life. It’s funny how little things make a world of difference in your demeanor now isn’t it? But now I’m standing in front of the shelf with the lights on them and trying to figure out just how many boxes I need. My first instinct is to buy everything that they had. I mean I’m sure next year I’ll need more! But with having other things to spend my money on this holiday season, I settled for 6 boxes. I mean honestly, 6 boxes of lights that are supposed to cover 35 feet each should be enough. I never measured our fence (which could very much be the problem) but it sure sounds like enough. So into the cart the lights went and soon I was driving home. When I got home I noticed how bright the moon was and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky.

As my project went on, I noticed that I was using more of the lights that I thought I needed. Guess how I did at the end of the night? Well I used all of them up on only one fence. Now I should have bought the whole shelf of lights. But at least I have one fence done!! I guess I’ll have to back and buy some more this weekend.

While I was doing chores I noticed that the clouds were moving in for the night which was a good sign. There was a warm front trying to come in and it looks like it finally made it.  I tried to snap another  picture of the moon tonight because it really was cool.  I’m not very good at night pictures – but you can get the idea with this one. DSC_0360a
