More November!

Hi, everyone!
This week it’s been really warm for November! On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, it was sunny and the temperatures were close to 60 degrees F.! That gave Grandma and me a chance to put the lights on the apple trees under really good conditions! There were still some leaves high up on the biggest trees, but none where we wanted to put the lights! I was a good helper. First, we checked all the strings of lights to make sure they lit up, then we took them outside to put on the trees. Now that we have LED bulbs, the lights don’t use as much electric power and the strings can all be plugged together. I helped Grandma put the first two strings together. When we got to the space between the last two apple trees, I made sure the string of lights crossing the space was high enough that nobody would run into it! At the very end of the last string, I helped make the loop to keep the end of the lights where it’s supposed to be. I want to see what design the lights will make when they’re lit, but Grandma says we’ll wait until our special turning on day for that!  Continue reading “More November!”
