A chilly windy day. The shade in the office got fixed. The landscaping contractors cleaned up the garden and planted some new plants and a butterfly bush and fixed a drainage problem and contractors checked out the roof

And the Christmas tree is about 95 percent decorated. Have to wait for our son to hang some ornaments near top of tree

Finally finished decorating the tree. Last Saturday we got the tree out of storage only to discover we did not have a tree stand. The one we had last year broke. We thought we ordered one but after some research we realized we never received it and order was cancelled. So we ordered one and it came on Monday. So Monday night we put the tree up. Tuesday Michael put the lights and garland on and we started decorating. Wednesday more decorating but ran out of small hooks. Thursday we went to Homestead gardens to look for a new angel top and some hooks. Very small selection of angels and nothing we liked and no small hooks.

Some more decorating and today I just filled in some holes
