Last week we managed to get most everything done in preparation for winter. We raked, mulched and mowed as many leaves as we care to talk about. Paul put the two mowers away until next spring. He brought out the snowblower and parked it in the garage ready for the first snowfall which I hope isn't any time soon. He helped me plant the last of my tulips; Triumph Tulips in pink and Lily flowering Tulips in assorted colors. The last couple of springs something has been eating my tulips, I never see any tracks and Dad thinks it's a rabbit. Hopefully whatever it is , it will leave the new ones alone, at least for a couple of years.
On Wednesday we put out the Christmas lights. For years we had put lights on the house but a few years back we stopped and only put them on the tress at the front of the house. When Brenna went away to university, she expressed how upset she was that we no longer put lights on the house........SOOOOOO Paul started putting lights back on the house. I know it's early but the weather was warm so we took advantage of it.

Yay for lights on the house! I don't think Longwood does that anymore either... :(
Yes, it's just not Christmas unless the Toner's tall ladder is seen making trips over the hill for christmas light application. It's tradition that Longwood almost falls off the roof each year too...Sniff sniff - memories!
Great form on the roof Paul! Looking good. Safety first :)
