Almost ready

My husband and I put up the outside lights yesterday. Had to rethink the strings that decorated the yews and the rose of sharon bush since these were removed in the spring. We wrapped the string around the new porch rail and continued the "pink" string on the evergreen bushes. Put all the lights on a timer. On Wednesday, on my day off, I will put the tree up. Have a few small gifts to purchase and would like to make some sugar cookies. I am feeling relaxed and peaceful and enjoying this season of Advent.
