Well ... Christmas MUST be coming ... as we put our tree up today. As you may recall, we cut it last weekend at the back of the farm. It is about as non-conventional a christmas tree as you might expect from us.We ended up cutting an Eastern Red Cedar ... known in other parts of the country as ... a juniper. After some careful pruning ... that took most of the morning ... it started to look like a Christmas tree.
We brought it in ... put on 400 clear twinkle lights and a LOT of decorations ... and low and behold ... It really DOES look like a Christmas tree ... :-)
Unfortunately ... and those of you who have pruned Junipers will know what I am about to say.
Our BEAUTIFUL, brilliant, perfectly pruned to fit the room, magnificent tree ... smells like ... CAT PEE!! Thank gawd for those little plug in pine scented air fresheners ... hehehe.
