My big plan is to set Christmas up by December 1st this year.
Step 1 - pull out the tree and check the lights.
Because we've been in transit for 2 years, everything has been in storage and I'm worried about my beloved tree, I love that tree.
I leave the lights on the tree each year because I have about 
1500 lights, crazy but it's beautiful.
Yesterday we pulled out the tree and WOOHOO, lights worked!
Whew.....
On to step 2 - bringing up all the Christmas bins from the basement.
(I don't like this part!)
Back to carrying bins........  ho ho ho...

While sitting in my office at my desk I have a clear view of the backyard.
I love listening to the birds singing and chirping away happily but those sneaky Blue Jays make me smile constantly. Sometimes I'll hear a muted gurble gooble (hard to describe the sound) and I'll rise to my feet, hoping to catch a glimpse of a wild turkey - nope, it's a Blue Jay. I'll hear a hawk, nope it's a Jay. These guys are master of mimicry.
