Good Fences #93 - Christmas Lights


 Wow it's the last day of 2015 (Where did this year go?) and it's time to close the year out by sharing with GOOD FENCES hosted by Theresa from: (The Run-a-round Ranch Report).

I miss last week (which I hated to do) and so here is what you would have seen last week:

These our the Christmas lights on our fence and my mom's fence next door.  Not the best quality photos as I have trouble shooting night scenes with my camera but I think they will work.


 This is the Chain link fence at our house.  See that big snowman?  Someone stole it a couple of nights before Christmas.  We replaced it with a different one but it sure makes me upset that people feel they have to steal from other people and especially at Christmas.

My mom's front yard and side fence.  - We love Christmas lights!


 This is in her back yard.  It's where all the old light sets got that don't quite work right anymore.

And for a different view of the same lights/fence....


 Pretty wild looking!


Wishing everyone a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!  -  Thanks for a great year of blogging with you.  -  See you back in 2016.

  4. I love those fence shots! And I've always liked Christmas lights and scenes in front yards. Running lights, not so much. But all are festive and Christmas gives us a Reason to be happy!! Blessings in your new year, Ida.

  20. Whaow! What great lights! I love it when people celebrate Christmas with outdoor lights. Sorry to hear that some low-life stole your snowman. And how lovely to have snow for Christmas. We've been basking in the warmest winter temperatures since records began, which is starting to make me worry: all those animals and plants that need to hibernate are waking up way too soon, which can't be good. All the best, Bonny

  23. Festive in spite of the thief's mean and selfish act. Love that you turned right around and got another snowman. There didn't seem to be so many lights around this year. Probably because it was raining so much for days on end during the light hanging season. I know Rich didn't want to climb a ladder in the rain and wind. We hung a big, bright, pretty snowflake at the front porch, and with an evergreen swag it looked inviting and Christmasy.
