Finding Our Cedar
Spirit of Christmas Tree Farm

Charges of treason were levelled at Jen and me
when we suggested to the daughters that we might want
to look someplace other than
our traditional tree farm for the cedars we like
to have at Christmas. In recent years, these soft trees
that don't scratch up the hands of the girls that
decorate them have become a bit scarce at the farm.
But, as we didn't know whether other tree farms
provide an old hot army stove where one can warm
oneself and sip hot cider or chocolate
while waiting for
the guys to blow and bag the tree, we returned. And
we were glad to discover a far-back corner of the farm
where someone with foresight had planted a grove of
cedars some years back, the first ones just ready to
be
cut and dragged home
this year, and plenty more
awaiting their turn in years to come.
