Tonight is the first night of our neighborhood’s annual Holiday Light-Up. Yet there are no Christmas lights on my house and my curbside street decoration is not illuminated. It has been raining most of the day. I was able to get the crates out of the garage during a lull in the rain and also set up the curbside street decoration. And then the heavy duty rain started. By the time I got back up to the house after it started, I was drenched! And it hasn’t let up since then–about 3 hours ago!

I really don’t mind the rain, but it’s not so good when trying to hang Christmas lights on your house. I’m extremely hopeful that it will let up for at least a few hours tomorrow.
