Trying to think of a puppy safe plant... Hmm maybe even a topiary??
You could do Valentines, St Patty's, Easter, then you have Labor Day, armed forces day and memorial in May flag day in June Independence Day in July so you can stick with red, white, blue and stars for that period then by Sept you jump into autumn colors then halloween, thanksgiving and christmas..... You could just stick with white lights to keep it simple and do bows and like eggs for Easter, rainbows, gold coins and shamrocks for st Patty's and flags for the American pride times. |
For some reason I missed that first sentence about the hopeless ficus. At least hopeless living long in my home. I put up with those leaves and mess for way too long when I bought 3 at once. I wanted to take an ax to them after only a few months but kept them around for a year or almost a year and finally just sat them out front for any unwitting fool to take or for the environmental crew to pick up, whichever came first!
I should have said a fake ficus, one of those well-done faux ficus trees you can get nowadays and not those crummy ones that had about 10 - 12 years ago. That is what I maybe want to get to decorate with lights. But the topiary is higher on my want list probably right now.
I'm really going to miss this Christmas tree festive atmosphere once it finally has to go to storage. It is truly beautiful to see little tiny lights winking in the evening, reflecting off the flooring or things that pass and glitter. You can turn down the lights in the room and the glow is so pretty. So I think I'll get some white lights, pink ones and a couple strings of RW&B ones for FOJ once I find the right topiary or ficus and get it here.
