Once upon a time, last Saturday to be exact, John and Becky decided to go to a tree farm to have a real Christmas tree experience. So they made their list of supplies and checked it twice. Then they headed out to Richardson Farms.
Once there, they were in awe at the amount and kinds of trees to choose from. It was a bit overwhelming but they eventually decided on a Canaan Fir and made their way to the field.
There were so many to choose from.
"This one is a little too small," thought John.
"And this one is a little too big," said Becky
John found a Charlie Brown Christmas tree, but that's not what he was looking for. So he kept up the search.
Finally, they found one just right!
So John took the saw and cut away.
Ah...the perfect size!
Their lovely size tree made for easy carrying and John brought it back to the shaker. Where they put it on the machine and all the dead needles are shaken out. Thankfully, there were still lots of good, healthy needles left.
The tree awaiting the baler.
There she goes.
All ready for transport.
But not before some hot cocoa and fudge!
The tree fit in the trunk with the back seats down. They laid down a blanket to keep it more comfortable for the ride home.
John hauled the tree inside with ease and got it all set up in the stand. What will it look like?
Snip, snip, snip. Guess we'll find out!
O Christmas Tree, o Christmas tree, how lovely are your branches.
The lights are on and now all that's needed is a topper. So a Santa hat had to suffice. Now for the ornaments...
All complete! They love their tree and it has brought much joy thus far!
The End.
