Shhhhhhh............... they are sleeping

Merry Christmas

It was a tough drive

because our black furry navigator was not along for the ride.  Buddy will always be in our hearts he just wasn't sitting on the center console traveling along with Mr and myself.

Having said all that we have some very fond memories of our recent visit with my sweet sister and dear bro in law while babysitting the pumpkin patch, even got to spend quality time with sweet niece and nepew in law.

Of course food was involved, laughs many laughs, some quiet time as well as visits with friends.  A Princess visit or three was also included.  And did I mention food.

So now we are babysitting the Christmas tree's, no tree's yet but there will be the day after Thanksgiving. 

So let that be a warning y'all won't be hearing much from me because it's really, really busy.  Given the economy I wonder how tree sales will be this year?

They're here!!!

Trees at the Doodles Christmas tree lot that is............WooHoo!!!

That my folks is an 18 wheeler filled with stunning trees.......just wait you'll see.



Each tree is hand drilled so to put it on your stand when getting it home.




Mr Doodles taking off all the twine that wraps the tree when they arrive.


This has got to be one of the prettiest trees on the lot at the moment. Sorry the color is not as good, reason being the tent the trees are under is red and white and the red is making it all orangey YUK!!! I'll figure it out.

There is nothing like the smell of fresh cut trees..............let the season begin.

OK gotta scoot..............another truck just arrived............get ready..........stay tuna'd!!!

I drank the Kool Aid folks

Prior to becoming lot managers for a Christmas tree lot we have always had real trees with the exception of one year when we had no tree cause we were traveling to be with family. One other time I went crazy and collected big maple branches that had broken off, painted then all green, put them in a pot and hung ornaments on them..............I know what you're thinking.

So some points to ponder when buying your tree for Christmas.

Feel good about buying a REAL tree. Real trees breathe in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen. Plantation trees, that's what Christmas tree lots carry, are quickly biodegradable and seedlings are planted in the place of each tree harvested. And don't y'all just love the smell of a fresh cut tree?

Artificial tree are normally made of plastic (petroleum based product) and metal. The creation of artificial trees uses energy and some pollution into the environment during the process. Artificial tree are not biodegradable. Real Christmas trees are good for the environment AND the economy, and we all know both need help.
