The "tree" is all put together & waiting for the perfect spot to place it.  The tree appears sturdy to withstand a strong wind.  We do plan to secure it a bit just to be sure.  I have blue glass bottles for the tree and they are lovely.  It should be the most outstanding tree in the neighborhood.  In fact I have only seen one another and it is about 30 miles from here....so talk about the talk I should hear from passerby's.
