Promised photos.

Here are the pictures of the Christmas Tree that I promised in last night's post. We got ourselves a Colorado Blue Spruce from Griffin Tree Farms in South Brunswick, NJ. Marianne spotted this one and picked it out. I like going to Griffin Farms because it's located on Fresh Ponds Road, and that's the road where the farm was located where my Dad was born, so many years ago.


This is the "Before" photo. This tree is actually two trees that are conjoined at the very base. Two separate trunks made it a bit difficult to get into the tree stand. I doubt you can see it in the photo, but I had to stick some 1X2's in there to brace it up. It was a lot of work, but it's so pretty and it smells so good!


This is the "After" photo with the lights,star garland and decorations on. The Angel has to be below the very tip as there's no room between the tip of the tree and the ceiling. Mucho thanks to my son Joey for helping me get this into the stand and decorating it. I'd still be at it if it weren't for him!

  1. Very nice Tree Larry and your wife sure does have an eye for a Christmas tree! I sure do miss the smell of a live Tree.

  2. Nice looking tree. Luckily, you have a 1x2 to stick in the base -- my callsign is too long :-)
