Ain't Richmond

Saw the other day on the TV that Richmond has become notorious (in a good way) for having some of the most fantabulous Christmas light displays. Good for them.

We’ve got some nice light displays around Albuquerque – but I don’t think anyone here has gone that extra mile to get network TV coverage.

A friend has a pretty spectacular display. As we would give directions in a small town, “It’s right behind Hoffmantown Center, you know by the Albuquerque Library and rose garden, in that area. You just turn south off Menaul just before you get to Wyoming and there it is.” It takes a certain talent to secure Santa on a surfboard.

Here are a couple of views of our front yard. A bright display for our conservative neighborhood! Plans are underway for next year. To make it easier, when we landscaped this fall I had a couple empty 2” conduit pipes put underground to serve as the major extension cord avenue to the house.
