Christmas lights

It’s hard to take a good picture of christmas lights. If you let it get too dark outside, the picture just looks mostly black, and that’s not really how it looks. Of course, if you take it while it’s still light, it doesn’t look right either.
I don’t have it right yet, but here is the best picture I’ve been able to get of the house and yard so far.

Trains

The warm weather came just in time. We’ve had progressively warmer weather all week. Today got up to fifty-one degrees. The roadbed in the barrel all thawed out. The trains are running flawlessly.

The neighborhood kids are attracted to the trains. The trick is to keep them from roughhousing with them. They want to be giggling tunnels and to jump back and forth across the track just ahead of the train. Oh well, the trains are sturdy, and they go back on the track easily.
