A Favorite November Day


The first Saturday in November (that was yesterday) is the day we set aside for picking out our Christmas tree and tagging it at Double Four Tree Farm. They have beautiful trees. We've been going there since we moved here in 1999. It seems to us that every year the trees get lovelier. This year we bought the first one we looked at. We did look at others too but came back to the very first one. I think that happened last year too. It was a rainy day and we got there an hour after they opened and it was very busy. Finding and tagging the tree and taking pictures didn't take very long but I stood in line for at least 40 minutes to pay for it. I've never seen that line so long. Usually there are 2 or 3 people ahead of me and some years I just go to the register with no wait. Dewey stayed with Buddy and Boo in the car while I waited in line. But it was all worth it and I can hardly wait to see Hayden and Elaine and their faces when we go cut it down after Thanksgiving. And to see them experience the huge Christmas Tree Farm. I love November and I love this time of the year. Dewey does too. It is the most wonderful time of the year and the best part is it lasts till January 2nd. Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Fall!
