As the days have gotten cooler and the nights have gotten downright colder, we've been looking for ways to get ready for fall. Schatz and I have discussed using the fireplace, but we're too cheap to call out a chimney sweep. Also, I, Kitten, do not know how to start a fire from kindling. So it seems that decorating the fireplace with Christmas lights was a fun, safe, affordable, and festive solution.
PS We rescued a puppy from the pound. Her name is Zhuchka. She is terribly well behaved (except for the potty-training bit) and sweet.
