Unfortunately,
I had to work most of today, bud did get home about 2pm with another
trailer load of decorations to put out. I got started on things
by 2:30 or so. I started putting lights on the big maple
tree, and with a very sore back, I was able to get most of the lights
on the maple tree that afternoon, but it is a long task wraping the
lights around the branches. I put the lighted ornamet balls
up forst, and then wrapped the trunk base followed by the upper trunk
stems and then started on the major branches. Overall, I mananged
to get about 2,216 lights on the maple tree, and finished up the tree
the next day. The picture below was actually taken on Sunday
night (12/5) and shows the whole tree as it was completed.
