Our Merry Christmas tree


We rescued the top of a 25' pine that broke off in our blizzard/ice storm last week. It was encased in ice and snow. Ken got on an extension ladder and got it off the old pine. We put it in our shower to thaw and after it dried and we set it up, we decorated it, and behold....a Christmas tree emerged. It looks lots better at night than in the day, but we enjoy this old-fashioned looking tree. Merry Christmas everyone!

  2. Thank you Tracy. It took three hours to drip dry with a little help from us decrusting the ice. May and Cookie kept running into the bathroom checking on it; so exciting for them. It made quite a bit of tempting noise with the clicking of the ice and the drips etc. Sometimes it sounded like glass breaking. Cookie is sitting on the tree skirt under the tree right now. They have two ornaments that they love. Both are bells which they ring when they want to exercise their Christmas spririt.
