[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Successful Saturday

Mon Dec 8 05:06:05 UTC 2025

Still catching up.

I agree Erika, winter has come early. I have a wrap around covered porch 
on two sides and garland that goes around the outside railing. Well, 
when I put it up, I clean a section of the railing and then wrap the 
garland. I need to find a bird deterant because they make a mess of the 
railing. I started on the 70 degree day but I need it to be above 40 
degrees to clean the railing. We have been stuck in the 30s for over a 
week now. The snow we received finally melted today and it was 44 but I 
didn't manage to make it out. Snow is coming again tonight, so I have 
decided since I managed to get the garland across the front, I am going 
to stop there this year.
