We Have An Xmas Tree!

[bjarvis]

We now have a Christmas tree for our home. It was long struggle, but it was worth the effort, for we are men and no tree is safe! Whole forests tremble at the sound of our names! :-)

Behold our saga...

	Field o' trees, 2006-12-10 The vast plain of Mt Airy, MD, is surveyed by the clan of hunters. This is their hunting ground. Be afraid.
	Michael & Kent, 2006-12-10 Walking through the fields of trees, the hunters seek a straggler which could be easily separated from the protection of the herd.
	The Victim, 2006-12-10 The unwary victim is selected.
	Tree, 2006-12-10 The selected canaan fir put up a struggle but its fate is long pre-determined: the tree is felled by the mighty hunters.
	Cart, 2006-12-10 The corpse of the fallen tree was loaded onto the ceremonial golf cart and paraded through the admiring throngs. Roses were thrown in their path and songs were composed in their honour for their bravery and service to the nation.
	Tree, 2006-12-10 The trophy of their battle to the death is mounted and displayed with pride in the great dining hall, admired by all.

Last year Bob & I cut our own tree from a little place down the street called Wolf Hill Farm.

Inexplicably we chose a 12-foot scotch pine and had to drag it ourselves about 1/3 mile to my truck at 4:45 in the extreme dim of a December afternoon.

Not a good one. From now on we will stick to the tree-already-cut-in-lot-very-near-truck model.

At least it was a pretty tree

I just dragged out my 6' artificial tree in it's storage box from the storage locker and assembled it, dropped the branches, fluffed and it was ready to go. Been up over a week now - lit and decorated too. :-)

I used to do the real tree too but no more.

The mighty hunters must rejoice in chocolate and science fiction. Be proud of this day's deeds!

I've been away from the East Coast and the Atlantic seaboard for long enough to note: Wow, I forget how truly beautiful the countryside can be in that area.

Technically it's my homeland as I was born in Maryland. So maybe this is atavistic.

Can't wait to see it all decked out!
