The first Saturday in November means that it’s time to tag our Christmas trees so we met Brian, Alexis, Mark, John and Jessicca Weaver, Matt and Mindy Mullinix (and Kendal), and Juan Castellanos to walk though the fields and find our perfect trees. It was a beautiful November morning, with a clear sky filled with the sounds of geese arriving from the north, and we all succeeded in finding the very best trees we had ever seen.
Then it was time to head back to our house for breakfast.
A few weeks later, Dan and Courtney, along with Owen, Louisa and Cara walked to the nearby church where the Boy Scouts sell trees. They found their perfect tree, loaded it on the wagon, and walked home.
When the trees were decorated, we found that they really were the perfect Christmas trees.
