Into the Spirit

Just about everything is done for the season now - except for shopping. All of the decorations were completed yesterday and the inside is also done. The outside decorations were enhanced a little bit by the addition of some (fake) poinsettias:

They are being held down by the use of Velcro under the plants. They are so light that any type of wind at all would send them across the site. It did get a little windy for awhile yesterday and the plants remained in place.

The inside is also all but done:

There are window lights all around the rig that we turn on at night. The outside lights are all on a remote timer that we turn on for 6 hours each night. So, it looks like we are all set for the holidays.

Word has it that the huge chill that is beginning to cover the northwest is going to spread to AZ later this week. We're looking for temps to be close to freezing by Friday morning, but that will be nothing compared to the sub zero temps in Jackson and other areas to the north. The chill will be spreading eastward this week and almost the entire country will be in the chill zone by the weekend. Welcome, winter...
