    As I posted yesterday, I got the outside decorations up while the weather was nice. The sun was out and it was in the 40 deg. range. Today it is overcast and damp feeling. Here is a pic of the front deck. A couple of years ago we bought new lights and garland. It is all in one. A lot easier to put up and it looks a lot nicer too. The lights are the little multicolored mini lights.

    Only took about 20 minutes to put up. With the old system of everything seperate, about 2 hrs. It took me longer to remember where I put them last year when they came down and then to find them!

    Try taking the pic at dusk. It will look like dark and be a great pic. I can see how it looks great now.

    I did take them at dusk. But I can't remeber how to turn off the flash and take a timed exposure. I will have to get the book out and read up on it.
