…Another California Experience
Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008
We received our live Christmas trees in the Nursery a few weeks ago. A little instant conifer forest sprouted up after delivery. Little Nordman firs only a foot tall, giant Douglas firs 5 feet over my head, and elegant weeping cedars made up some of the trees in our wood.
It was November, but we had been having the strangest warm weather. I said to myself as sun glared into my eyes, “Only in California would I be untying Christmas trees in SHORTS!”
I’m not complaining. I’m from Vermont. It was great. No slush, no frozen fingers, no snow falling from branches down my neck. Just a little weird.
