lights

we spent a few bucks after chirstmas for about 4 times as many lights as we needed. we spent another 20$ this year getting power adapters for our outside lights, extention chords, and two more digital timers (which will be weatherized before put into service) and another 5$ on little eye hooks which we opened up and screwed in about 60 of them to hang the lights off of (next year should be easier). I need to balance the top tier, but we'll wait for my hands to thaw out first. we lost about 8 bulbs and one drill bit, so we're pretty happy nothing has burned down, yet. I think we're learning that we should not wait until it's 15 degrees outside before we put up the lights.
