[nfbmi-talk] Tree trimming for blind people?

[David Andrews]

I just start at bottom circling the three with the lights, laying on 
branches.  It takes a little practice to know how far apart to put 
the circles, as you go around the tree, depending on how many lights 
you have.  I would also get a smaller tree the first time, so you can 
easily reach everything, and allow enough space behind to get around it.
