We have this HUGE tree in our backyard that gives us amazing shade over our deck! Sometimes the tree is a bit frustrating, like when the wind blows really hard and the all of the dead twigs cover our yard......or when the seeds fall and cover our entire deck and yard.....and we have yet to experience what will happen when the leaves fall....but as for now it is serving us a beautiful purpose. About a month ago we were in IKEA and we saw a display that had lanterns hanging from branches and we thought..."Wow, that would look so cool in our backyard and we have the best tree." However, we of course could not afford the lanterns at IKEA, so since then we have been trying to figure out what we could do to have lanterns hanging from our tree...
So, like with anything else that Andrew puts his mind to, he made it into a reality! He figured if he had votive holders and wire he could make it happen and he did! He made the wire holders.
In order to get the candles on the high branches, he attached string to a padlock and swung it around the branches!h Then attached a paper clip to the end of the string and then at the end the lantern was added on. It looks amazing! We put up seven as for right now, but will most likely be adding more later. It was 11:30 at night when we were outside doing this and the padlock kept falling on the deck making a really loud noise!
It looks amazing! I love it! It just makes our backyard look even better. I just love our house so much! It will be hard to leave it when that time comes, but as for right now, I know I have two and half more years to live it up!!!!!
