Novice Decorator

I decorated outside with pine cones not realizing that they close up when it is wet. I likely can't get the decorations off anymore before summer. The cords of the lights are inside the pine cones.

Transport

Marc kept Trevor company on Saturday

There were 4 big round things going through Listowel.
I have no idea where they are for.
