The Joneses

My neighbor across the street has a big white fence around his property – the kind you imagine in the Kentucky equine vicinity. He has it decorated with strings of white lights, as well as having trees shining with red and white lights. It is beautiful. I was inspired.

I put my usual fare out for the year, adding to it with leftover strands, hoping to create a masterpiece. It was looking better than before…until my neighbor decided to unearth every strand of lights she owned and adorn her fence, retaining wall and porch. Next, the neighbor behind me installed lighted strands from the top of his flagpole to the ground. It can be seen for miles. Both displays are stunning.

How to keep up? The obvious answer – I’m going to have to install a fence and a flagpole to provide me with more options for embellishing the property! I’ll just put that little note in with my lights when I store them, in case I forget this great idea.

  1. The neighborhood looks festive. I can see the flagpole from my kitchen window—it looks great!

    1. Of course it all does! Yours is amazing. I have to go back out and fix some lights which fell in my display.
