How evergreen your branches

This past Christmas we decided to try out a new tree farm. We ended up at Keith's Tree Farm in Acushnet. It was frigid out, but we walked the tree loop and struggled with indecision as we took in the somewhat surreal landscape. Some of the planted trees in grids had become overgrown and were like impenetrable rectangular forests.

There were alot of trees that were too big, and many that were small, and round...

we ended up choosing a tree that was very close to the main building even after walking in frozen circles for what seemed like miles. luckily inside the building they were constantly making warm large chocolate chip cookies which kept our sugar energy high.

sadly our volvo was in the shop for this adventure so we took a zip car. it was probably for the best that we chose a little tree.

installed and lit back at home!

officially ornamented

We got some new woodland creatures for our tree this year- owls...

and mushrooms...

...and a pickle.

tim's grandma made the red bird and angel ornaments many years ago.

The tree is still up (at the end of January) because it refuses to drop it's needles and it continues to light the living room.
