2012 entry #2 |
And today, the second day of Holidailies 2012, we went to get a Christmas tree.
|
 |
"We" = Jill and Nancy (shown above appraising the tree we selected)
plus yours truly went to the tree farm belonging to The Farmer's Daughter, where we have gotten our tree for the past several Christmases (actually,
since they opened their cut-your-own tree farm).
|
 |
Jill got to do the cutting this year (since she had missed the traditional
gathering of the Christmas tree last year because she was living in Canada
at the time). She has paused in her sawing because the weight of the tree
was gripping the saw tightly. After taking this picture, I moved the tree
enough to free up the saw so she could finish cutting it.
|
 |
And she has conquered the tree!
|
 |
And here Jill and I are carrying the tree back to the parking lot to be
paid for and bailed up for easy transport. Yes, I am wearing a sweatshirt
without a jacket -- the temperature was in the mid-fifties (although there
had been some light snow two days ago).
|
 |
And here's the tree on the roof of my car.
(Note the pair of work gloves on the roof of the car. Yes, you are right
-- I drove off with the gloves still on the roof of the car. The tree made
it home just fine but the gloves fell off somewhere along the way.)
