O Christmas Tree: Part 1

I had two appointments in town and was gone from the house from 10:30 until almost 3:00.

When I got back, the sun was on it’s low southern arc, lighting the tops of the trees…

And the temperature was a balmy 20F!

So I cut the top off the “Auggie-tree”…

And set it to prepare for going inside…

The remnants of the “Auggie-tree”…

O Christmas Tree: Part 1 :) !!

*** another foot or so will be removed before the tree goes inside. This first cut was done to prep the tree before a forecast “wintry-mix” of weather.

****** it is maybe a bit of a “Charlie Brown Christmas tree” – but that is ok with me!

    Hopes (and dreams?) that Auggie will no longer be interested in climbing the tree when it’s in the house. That happened several times with cats when I was growing up. One time we put a screw eye in the ceiling and wired the tree to it. That kept the tree from falling over when it was climbed.

    Hee… Yep, Beth…hopes that it will not be too interesting to Auggie! He was not interested in the little silk tree this year and last year it landed on the floor 3 or 4 times before it became un-interesting. We’ll see – I’m going to shorten the tree quite a lot – and I have a fairly large stand that is weighted …
