Christmas Lights and a photo of the entire front yard garden

Today was a big first for me. I hung up Christmas lights. It wasn't as fun as I imagined as a kid.

Here's a photo of the lights and our pink lawn poodle that Christine's Aunt Peggy gave us.

I think this photo is the first one I've posted that shows the garden in its entirety. Winter is kind of a drag. The plants are putting in good roots, but they aren't showing me much to enjoy. I cannot wait for spring, when the plants will all burst to life and color.
