Searching for the perfect tree.
Is this the one?
Can you smell them?
The fragrance is divine.
The country side looks ready.
The ground is so soft.
It is like walking on a pine scented sponge in the forest.
Mushrooms were everywhere growing.
The sky looked like it would erupt, but
it waited for us to find the perfect tree.
Yes, the tree was found, cut, then loaded into the car.
How lovely are the trees this time of year.
More lovely is the search and the walk in the country.
Do you find a live tree for your celebrating?
The live one sits in the living room,
but two imitations also adorn the house.
Oh how I love these gorgeous trees.
They delight me!
Oh, how I need to smell this lovely scent!! I am thankful my guys put up our artificial family tree and my tea themed tree for us! I tried to help with my left hand, but they did the real work.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like the perfect tree.
ReplyDeleteYou must show us how it looks when you have decorated it.

Ah we don't have a real tree, but I do love the smell of them.
ReplyDeleteYes! I can smell them! How fragrant are they! And, I love your santa header.... fun collection! I've been delinquent with reading blogs (and posting on ours!)... Marilyn, your photography is beautiful, comforting, and welcoming. I enjoyed my precious moments here.

We too cut our own tree Marilyn, we'll be going soon to the same farm we've gone to for several years now. You describe the experience perfectly, from the scent to the feel of the ground. It's awesome!
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, I can smell it! That's amazing because I have a touch of a cold and I can still smell it all the way from my your house to mine! My sweetheart wanted to get a real tree this year and I wanted a pre-lit artificial tree so I can put it up myself. We bought a tree we love but the thing that's missing is a scent. Could I bottle some of the scent when I'm at your house soon?
ReplyDeleteI'm working an email to you with a question about tea. It's coming soon!

I wish I was in Oregon.
ReplyDeleteNothing better than a fresh cut tree..we will get ours this weekend...JOY...and happy december to you my friend. xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteI could smell them, I have not had a real tree for years, and miss that. I love your ornaments on your header picture. Very unique. have a great day.
ReplyDeleteI love them too
ReplyDeleteWhen we moved into our home we planted a tree for each of the children and many of them are beautiful evergreens I decorate them for Christmas.
we're not putting up a real tree this year....so i'll have to wait and the smell the one at my sister's house....
ReplyDeleteSoon I'll be going with Rick to get his tree. We try to support the Y with their sale, although I think the cut-down could be fun. We'll see!
ReplyDeleteBecause I don't have a fresh-cut tree this year (it wouldn't bear the weight of my, ahem, "ornaments"), I must say I am missing the scent! I may go in search of a candle scented with pine or some such, but ... it isn't the same!
