This is it at night. I like the way it looks from the yard.
Nothing much to look at on its own, however after I added a string of lights I think it really works for me.
Its about 4 feet tall and about 8 inches wide which is perfect for right at the front door.
This is it from the driveway. Not bad for a dollar and an old string of lights!

I found this grate at a wharehouse junk sale for a dollar. I had been looking for something to turn into a porch light for the front of my house. and I knew instantly that this would work.

oldnews writes: Gailmarie, I'm just trying to keep you on your toes!! :) I agree with you, there are all kinds of seasonal things that I could do with this! I just got some cool fall leaf garland that I am going to try for now, and then I love the greens with bulbs idea! Thanks! And as for that snow -I love it as long as I'm inside looking out! Californians can barely drive in rain, imagine what a mess we could make with snow!?? Guess I'll stick to the stuff in the can... Posted: 10:09 am on October 23rd
monakent writes: Marie - will you quit changing your photo on me??? I am getting confused (which is easy to do right about now)!!!! I sat there looking at your photo, telling myself you looked familiar.....and then realizing it was the "new you"!!! (This photo is yet another good one of you, by the way.)

Grate idea! I could see more of these little guys all in a row... OR what about Christmas greens around the grate with the lights in the middle, for the holidays, with bulbs/ornaments hanging on the greens??? If you'd like, I could send some snow down to you, as we get closer to Dec!!!
