Let there be more light!

We need lots of light this year I think,.    So , earlier than usual we put up some outdoor lights with our next door neighbor.     We’re the only ones in the condo that do this.   This year we found an extra box of lights wrapped in newspapers from Dec 29 2004!    And they work! And they came with a few of these little white birds.  Yes I fussed a bit and made the birds bigger and it’s just a little gaudier, but so welcome.  It was just getting very dark at 5PM.
