Christmas Trees

For several years now my family has been getting their Christmas trees from Trees 'n Bees over in Black Diamond. The had a nice selection on trees at a reasonable price, it had a nice family vibe, they kept chickens, friendly barn cats, and there was always free hot cider and candy canes. You know. Each year we've seen this silly Dr. Seuss-ish tree every time we tromp to the back of the farm to get our preferred Noble or Grand fir. Last year we noticed that everything was 50% off and that the farm itself was being sold off. No one was sure if the lot would be a tree farm or condos this year, so imagine our joy in finding that the farm was sold to one of the former employees who plans to always keep it a tree farm with few large changes. They still have the chickens, there are new barn cats (Lucy the Terrible is my favorite), cider and hot chocolate are still there for chilly tree hunters and our silly tree was still there.

The nice owner (whose name I can't remember, of course) sold us the tree for cheap since we bought a regular size tree too.

Here are a couple of pictures of the decorated trees. I think we should remove the lights from the trunk of the tree.


 




Here's hoping your holiday decorating has been as fun as ours'.
