absence of sound is disturbing

After all the howling, the wind noise just stopped, no gradual fade, just stopped. Weird. Just checked Louie's blog and the tree looks so wonderful. Aimee, a friend from school, helped decorate ours, but at the moment, the lights, like old baggy nylon stockings are pooled around it's little tree ankles.



Never thought would need to attach to the ceiling (not that I could, but it's a great idea).
This is view down from second floor, so ceiling is 10 more feet higher. . .don't have a ladder that talll!!!!!

Here is tree from last year, decorations are basically the same, just collected in containers at the moment until Sandra gets here, she decorated with us last year so knows the drill and we shall get it dressed again!
