Although we had a tree in Milton, we never had outdoor Christmas lights; unseemly.<\/p>
Having never been in the habit, then, I enjoyed seeing other people’s displays, but never put even a single bulb outside. That is, until this year.<\/p>
This was Ron’s second Christmas on Cape Cod and his first as a permanent resident. That must be the reason why I wanted to put up a string of lights on the clump of small conifers by the driveway.<\/p>
Ron likes the idea of LEDs, and he generously bought a big string of them at the Osterville Stroll. I picked up a couple more at an after Christmas sale this week. They are frightfully expensive and emit a distinctive blue light, very different from the yellowish glow of the old style lights.<\/p>
Ron also bought an outdoor plug that accommodates up to three extension cords. So, we’ve been able to string lights on the inkberry bushes on either side of the stairs.<\/p>
I am quite delighted with this and very happy we set these up.<\/p>
Our new dentist was able to squeeze Ron in for a year-end exam and X-rays today.<\/p>
Tomorrow, Ron goes in for foot surgery, a very long overdue procedure. Fingers crossed that he will find it easier to walk once he’s healed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
