I know it's not much of a garden topic but this season is short on flowers.
I promise not to ask to see your barbeque qrills when summer comes.
There should be gardening then.
DD and SIL spent most of the frigid day setting up lights.
Show us your lights
love it when it's dark
The last one.
we are STILL working on it... but I will post some when we get there... yours look nice!
Very nice JoAnn! Sorry, no pictures here....we stopped outside decorating whan DH got hurt.
Looks great Jo Ann. We talked about putting them up yesterday, but never actually got around to it. ^_^
Nice, Jo Anne.
I am in the middle of putting on the tree lights for the indoor tree.
Why wont the cats go to the basement and get the box of extention cords?
Ive been down those stairs three times.
Still waiting for RosyDawn to open 2009 catalogue online.
jo anne that is an awful lot of grass in the front of the house? plenty of room for some dogwoods or other flowering trees:)
Attached is a pic from a couple years ago - we only light up an alberta spruce by the front door - although we have since added one of those fake deer that turns it head from side to side that was cheap at the xmass tree store.
Nice house!! and lights...I'll get pics when we get the lights up.
Nice pic, Bill.
Bill! if only. The gardens are mine, DD is in charge of one sun garden and all the failing 20 year old shrubbs.
If I had the energy and the money I would terrace the hill at the left side and have stone walks and stuff so I wouldn't have to bemd over to plant.
You are nice to mention it though.
No lights, just candelabra's in all the windows...lots of Santa's and Angels in the house though!
A couple angels in the finery...
aaaawww... pretty
I didnt put up a tree either. I decorated with santas.
I'll post later.
Smoking santa
fatsanta
reindeer
coupla jokers
this one hangs on the wall
Very nice, Jo Anne. One for me - think you know this guy!
It figures Victor
fruitcake 101.....
I made these for my Dad last night.......the only person I know that loves fruitcake! They'l be in the priority box on Monday with his birthday presents...heading in your direction Victor....so watch out for falling objects!!!
My grandmother used to make white fruitcake. I loved it toasted with butter.
This is the white fruitcake recipe! I hope he likes it, I've always used the recipe that called for brown sugar, but I saw this one in the Cook's Holiday Baking special magazine and was inspired to think outside the fruitcake box! I think they weigh about 3# each!
I forgot to say...Victor - love the Grinch!

love all your santas Ge
Thanks Onewish.
Are we still on for coleus cuttings?
Any idea what varieties?
No sweat if you dont know.
here is my contribution starting with inside the house. this is our "fake" fire in the fireplace. it looks and sounds likethe real thing.
here is one ofthe tree which we hve in the dinning room which is a converted living room.
sorry, let's try that again
i can't believe i did that. oh well, lets go on. this is a "stack of presents" we bought in a local store. the top box opens and closes and it came with the lights.
Very festive Herbie, thanks for sharing.
just a few more indoors. a friend at work has a son who made these and sold them. they are pieces of glass (think of a doctor's office that has those glass walls) he drills a hole in them and then inserts lights, either multi, green, red, blue or white.
sure... I will have plenty of them for you... I will have to go figure out what survived after my massacre and get back to you which ones are left
ge1836 - thanks. here are some from outside
first is a lighted star which i attached to my 22 foot flagpole along with the rotodendrums (sp) which are covered with multi colored lights.
this is one side of the front of the house
this is the left side
and this last one is the stoop gong to the front door.
looking forward to seeing your indoor and outdoor lights
Holiekrap Herbie Thats quite a display.
We are sluggs around here and have outside lights up (top of thread)
The tree is up and has lights but no decorations. Maybe today.
