We love them! We've been getting lots of comments from the neighbours on how nice they look. I'm glad they think so because they are the ones that have to look at them. If I can figure out how to properly photograph the lights in the dark, I'll post a photo of the whole house.
Remember last week when I said that winter was on its way? As it turns out I was right! [If you think about it how could I be wrong? I live in the Great White North, aka The Canadian Prairies, and it's November. Winter was bound to come any day...but that's besides the point. We'll just leave it at I was right!] This is what happened in the last two days:
And this...
Don't you just love how snow looks blue in the shadows? I'm mentioning this now because in a month or two, I'll be sick to death of winter and I won't have anything nice to say about it. ;)
For those of you who followed the flood photos, see that wooden stick in the foreground? The one with the little orange thingy on the top? That's where the river was from May-ish to August-ish. See everything behind it? That's part of our yard (some of the neighbour's, too). The river is now back within its banks and is about 600 metres straight back.
These snowflakes (along with 3 trillion or so of their closet friends) will be with us until March or into April.

Oh, I bet those lights are going to look so pretty all lit up for the holidays! We've never put lights on our house (in part because it's two stories and neither one of us wants to risk life or limb for Christmas lights). :)
ReplyDeleteThose lights are very pretty (love blue anyways). and that snow, I actually love it, but am glad u got it instead of us.
ReplyDeleteLooks like winter for sure. Hello, fellow Canadian.
ReplyDeleteWe got a taste of snow this week, but it melted soon after. Ours will be coming, but I hope not just yet.
Those lights look really nice - I can see why you couldn't wait! It's a little early for Christmas but these are just your dark-evening lights, right? ;-)
ReplyDeleteSnow for months on end? I don't know if I could handle it. Although if it was (almost) a certainty it would maybe be easier to deal with than our, cold, rain, snow, slush, cold, sleet, rain, etc.
Thanks everyone! I'm still working on a photo of the whole house with the lights on. A few more experiments and I should have something.
ReplyDeleteJudith, As much as I don't like the cold and snow, it's better than a thaw and freezing cycle, which could leave the roads/highways dangerously icy. Oh, and here, snow/cold for months on end is a definitely certainty. Brrr...
