Normally I might have spent last weekend, i.e., first full weekend of the new year, taking down Christmas lights. But last weekend was pouring rain again, and I’m not THAT stupid. Most of this week has been dry, if cold and windy as hell, so this weekend will probably be dedicated to getting that task taken care of.
So, a little bit windblown, here’s last light. (It’s 23:45, windy, and 33° out there – the things I do for my “art”!)
The multiple lines of lights along the roofline did just fine, even with unbelievable amounts of rain and winds gusting at times to 65+ knots. The stuff up in the maple tree came down (at least partially, like here) almost daily when there was wind. And there’s always wind.
I think the wind took down two of the candy canes next to the driveway, but that’s mainly because I figure if it was Hissy, ALL of the candy canes would have been pulled loose or snapped. At least we didn’t have any rabbits chewing on the wiring this year! (See 2024, 2023, 2022…)
In this corner by the garage the wind swirls and spins, so next year I’ll have to remember and find a better way to keep these lights up in the trees and not on the ground.
Already planning and looking forward to next year!
