Redstar's USA Garden

out in the front, Christmas lights.

 

I've not seen this thread before , I've really enjoyed having a look through your garden redstar . The cornus kousa and the canada lily are beauty's , you have a impressive spring show as well.

 

@redstar Nice lighting and quite tall

 

Our back garden in the summer is like black pool illuminations with all the garden and fencing lights...I love lighting in the garden as it's totally relaxing

 

Yes, @Gail_68 it is very tall. I got the ladder out so its a good 30 feet tall, used a short limb on the tree, and an iron S hook on the limb then kept stringing up the lines. then anchored them on a flexible long tube at the bottom, but then elevated the tube up about 6 inches using some old paint sticks that had holes in it, so the lights are not in any snow. unless it snows over 6 inches. all that was from stuff we had around the house. the flexible tube has ridges in it so that keeps the lines from moving. Kinda proud of it.

 

@redstar I thought it looked out standing but it's funny with what can be done with things you hold on to...my hubby is like that with idea's that come up...really nice work

 

@Gail_68 , thanks much. turned the volume up, not sure why the noise in the beginning before the sound of my steps in the snow. our area is dead quiet at night. maybe the wind made the noise.

 

It was the wind coming in at different directions @redstar then I heard light footing in the snow

 

Hi @redstar smashing video...it was like looking in to wonderland

 

Hi @redstar where are you're cats? Are they being clever and staying in the warm house?

 

Oh, yes, they are in the warm house. but they do go out for their needs. and then right back.

 

Thank you Gail. after I got all the way down there went in the gazebo got the bird seed to fill the bird feeder before coming back up to the house. Its a 100 paces from the house to the gazebo. so with the deep snow. anyway, the bird feeder needed filling.

 

@Gail_68 and @Fern4 , near the end that green grass coming up from the snow. you all know that was a bunch of daffodils----right.

 

They was on the left @redstar ...ours collapsed with the snow and since it's gone they've shot right back up
