Vorlon Whispers

I ran to the Hardware store today. I put the Commander hooks on the windows for the Christmas wreaths. I cleaned the windows with alcohol before putting the hooks on. When I finished that, I transplanted a redbud tree. It grew this summer. I didn't even know one was there. I have no idea where it came from as the ones I have out back are too small to flower or bloom. This one was growing too close to my Alberta Spruce and hanging over the pavers I put in to cross the flowerbed from the drive way. It was a good three feet tall and had a deep root system. I was surprised at how it leaped out of the ground. The ones I brought from Vineland and planted outback are less then a foot tall and have been there for two or three years.

While searching for the hooks for the wreaths, I found a few clips for putting Christmas lights on the rain gutters. They look perfect for connecting my led lights to the tree frames. I drove to the hardward store to get some. I didn't want to go to K-Mart, Walmart or Home Depot on Black Friday. I figured the hardware store won't be crowded and I figured correctly. I took the tape off the frames and used the clips to fasten them on. It works well except I broke the plastic frames a couple times. I used the glue gun to glue it back together. My fingers got tired so I took a break after glueing the frame back together. I had to wait for it to dry. I have one and a quarter more trees to do and I can put the set out on the driveway.

I drove to the mailbox as it was getting dark and I reset the candles I have in the windows. They went on at 3pm so I reset them at 5pm. They are still on so they must be for 5 hours. We'll see.

I baked Danny's chicken that I had put in the freezer and bake a large sweet potato and had them for dinner with some Brussels sprouts and cranberry sauce. I had taken out some turkey to thaw but the chicken was hot out of the oven so I ate some of that and froze the rest. I'll have the turkey tomorrow.
