got the tree and dressed it up real purty yesterday. our initial intent was to ride the wagon at the tree farm out to the field and select the most perfect tree God hath created, fell it ourselves, then have a few teenagers in overalls drag it back to our car for us. with the miserable weather here yesterday, it turned into this: getting out of the car, walking 40 feet to the pre-cut lot at the tree farm, looking at one tree, finding it acceptable until the helpful TOAs (teenagers-in-overalls) pointed out a second one which was even more acceptable, purchasing said tree, strapping it to the roof of the carbon-footprint-leaving conestoga, and hauling it home.
the time between our arrival at the tree farm and our departure- which also included getting 3 kids out of the car, into their muddy tree-finding shoes, an additional 7 minutes to purchase 75 feet of pine roping and a wreath for the front door, then getting the kids back out of the shoes and into the car- was no more than 18 minutes.
you say rush job, i say more time for egg nog!
