The Wandering Yard Ornaments

We didn't have lights on the house but we had lawn ornaments for decorations. They proved to be trouble with the winter storms that we had this Christmas season as fun as they were out on the lawn...and in the woods. The ornaments had stakes attached to the bottom of them to hold in, but winds and snow, and perhaps the critters overcame the stakes. Here is the journey of the wandering yard ornaments.

Chapter 1--Dad sets up the ornaments in the not yet snow covered yard. I wasn't here for this part.


Chapter 2--Mom takes pictures before the snow comes.


Chapter 3--LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW!!! Pretty snow pictures of the "little" sister getting a nuggy (spelling??) sandwich. There is frost on the ornaments that make them look really sparkly and shiny!




Chapter 4--The yard ornaments wander...all over!




Chapter 5--Dad rounds in the ornaments and shows them who's boss...sort of.


Chapter 6--WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY, it actually says that holiday decorations are likely to blow away from wind gusts. This time I collected all 15 from the yard and put all the ornaments in the garage so they wouldn't blow away in the storm. I could find one that had ventured into the woods because it was dark outside while I was doing this. We found it the next day half way down the driveway, figures.

The End

Okay, I am literally laughing out loud at the "dad showed them who's boss, sort-of" line. That's really funny.

How funny! They looked like great decorations, I'm glad you saved them from the fierce Northeast weather. Good luck this semester at school!
