Sunday Trees – 267

…thanks Becca for hosting Sunday Trees

This year I didn’t start decorating my tree until Christmas Eve and thankfully  my daughters helped me begin the process. I love doing the tree but I don’t like doing it on my own. With my husband being so sick the last few weeks I never found the time or energy to start hauling out the lights and the decorations. Earlier in the week I did bring the tree inside, sawed off bottom, trimmed the lower branches and placed it in the tree stand. That night I didn’t get to bed till 2:30. Not a good thing, especially on a school night.

Once the decorating process started it was enjoyable and I continued putting on a few more decorations the next day. Each year my tree gets smaller and the need for a lot of ornaments also gets smaller. Sometimes I think less is more. Here is the finished product.p1020075p1020129

These whimsical Santa trees were made by me many years ago but they continue to be some of my favourite decorations. Do you have a favourite in your home?

…..congratulations Becca Givens on posting Sunday Trees for five years

This past month newly planted trees have appeared in the park down the street. It will be interesting to see how long these beautiful little gems will last before some home owners who live across the street from the park decide to remove them. Even though the city probably spent a pretty penny to plant these trees some people think that an unobscured view of the lake is more important than a healthy environment. Apparently in years past trees did mysteriously disappear soon after they were planted.
