Sunday, December 15th The Trimming of the Tree

 First you start with the colored lights and begin at the bottom
















Then you add the white lights until you have an even distribution of colored and white from top to bottom.

 

 

Then come the ornaments.

Viola!

Saturday, December 14th A Face only a Mother Could Love

That might be how you would describe these Guinea Hens that Paula is housing in her barn for her friend Ryan, who doesn't have the space to keep them all.  He pays rent for them by cutting wood for Paula.

Friday, December 13th The Cutting of the Tree

When it's 7 degrees F outside, you make a tree choice pretty quickly.  We found the perfect one in about 1 minute, in the front row of a big tree farm. 

 It was just the right height to reach up to the ceiling in the corner, and narrow enough to fit behind the big chair.

So Don cut it down.
