Shouldn't…but Do

Tis the season.  I had the Christmas lights up on the roof before Halloween this year.  Beat the holiday rush – and inclement weather.

Nice view from the roof.  Birds-eye, tree tops instead of roots, where things are going – results, not beginnings. Repaired a few things.  Laid flat for a spell,  watching clouds.  Private.  Very few passerby look up.

Fear of those heights crippled me on the roof a few years back.   Used the cell phone to call the Neighbor to talk me down.   Thanks again Neighbor.

Now two stories up and on the edge, fear gets no truck with me.  Job needs to get done.  Emotion a luxury in the face of things – like shingles – that need repair.

Thanksgiving saw the lights turned on, pretty nice.  Tis the season.
