DeleteBut wait! There's more!!! (No, don't wait. That's enough.)
Fascinating watching the progression.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Guys!
All the best!!
Ron:
DeleteWe're back DOWN to perhaps 150 ornaments, the equal amount of lights... and I never even got them out this year.
Yowza! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteDebra:
DeleteWe've been in the same place for 5 Christmases now. What's happened?!?
'Round round get around, I get around.....'
ReplyDeleteLovely trees....every one of them. LOVED that TALL one!!
Happy New Year!
Jim:
DeleteYou should have seen us driving home from the tree farm with that tree on top of our Honda Civic Wagon!
I'd love to have seen how Dudo and Moose would have done with a 14 foot tree! That mutha was huge!
ReplyDeleteBob:
DeleteWe haven't even had a tree since we got Dudo and Moose. They'd be all over it. Our California cats were completely indifferent to our Christmas trees. These two think everything has been placed around the house for their amusement.
It's nice to see you two didn't move around much!!!!!!! I love the first one, but there all gorgeous. Did you two do one this year? New Haven?!?!? I have been there with that Lad several times as his uncle lives there. It such a cute town.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Boys!
mistress maddie:
DeleteNot shown were Boston, two homes in San Diego, two homes in Las Vegas, and Irvine. Hence... Mitchell is Moving.
mistress maddie... again: I forgot to answer your question. We haven't done a tree since we got these two cats who would have a ball with it. Didn't even get out the decorations this year. Next year, I plan to take my chances. We went to New Haven when Jerry started working at Yale. I worked for a publisher and then took a job at Yale, too. We lived on Lincoln Street for the first year and a half. A really beautiful little street, but not the most exciting town at the time.
DeleteThat's a lot of trees! Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteWilma:
DeleteWe had fresh-cut trees until a few years in San Diego where the needles were already dropping off in the tree lot. In Connecticut, we would cut the trees ourselves. Some years they didn't drop needles the entire season.
I looove a good looking Christmas tree, mhm! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year.
HG:
DeleteSo do I. Same to you!
geat trees
ReplyDeleteGosia:
DeleteI miss those freshly cut ones!
wow great !
ReplyDeleteSpo:
DeleteCutting out own was so much fun. We took a sled into the woods on year to haul a tree back. We had my mother and brother with us but neither of them would ride on the sled ... even if we pulled.
Happy new year
ReplyDeleteAdam:
DeleteWishing you and Daisy the same. Since the Earth is flat, I was thinking of walking over for a visit.
You know you should just start decorating your cactus!
ReplyDeleteKMoff:
DeleteYou know that's actually a great idea!
