If it was me, I would keep it up year round. But to be honest, there were spider webs on it!! Yes, spider webs!! I can't find the spiders, but there were webs. So it was time to go.
For years we have gotten a tree with long needles. This was our first short needle tree. We loved it.
Great form. Great smell. Great look.
We actually cut the top 8 feet of a 12 foot tree. The bottom part was pretty bad, but the top part was great.
It was still taking water last week.
So the tree is down and out. I loaded it into the van and dropped it off at the tree recycling place, where it will eventually become mulch.
As soon as I put it in the van, a sweet smell of fresh pine filled the vehicle. It was like a giant air freshener!
The outside lights also came down As did the Dickens Village.
While the house is a mess, it is getting back to more of a normal non holiday look, which is not always so good.
Anyway, a few pictures of our past two days.
