We made our annual trip to the local nursery/farm store. It is called Ontario Orchards. This year, we decided to have a Fraser Fir. That is what we choose most years. They usually have a great selection. This year, however, you could choose between a 3' tree and a 9' tree (maybe it's not that bad, but you get my drift). We went with a tall one and had them cut it down and center drill the stump.
If we had gone one day earlier, we wouldn't have had to deal with snow on the tree. Now we have to let it sit in the garage for a day while the snow melts and drips off before we can bring it into the house. Below, Mason is walking behind me as we check out the selection.
Morgan has his eye on one. He likes the Noble Firs. So does his dad. Those aren't available here. They are a Pacific northwest tree, I think. In any case, you can't find them here. Kaye likes the Frasers because they drop almost no needles during the time the tree is in the house.
Here it is. Kind of tall because this shot is before the hack job.
Gumbo is helping by cleaning the mantle so that we can hang the stockings.
She is a heat seeking feline. She can't wait until we light the woodstove. We usually light it in early October. This year, though, we were able to wait longer because of....well, you know.
Throw another log on, dude!

We have a two-foot electric fiber optic tree. Next year though...in my NEW house, things will be different!!!
Get 10' ceilings. You can have a much bigger tree.
