Christmas Trees

christmas_tree_2011_thumb.jpgIt's a family tradition for over twenty years now. We drove up toward Diamond Lake and cut our trees on Forest Service land. Permits are still only five dollars. And why not? It's not like they're letting the timber companies have any.

Afterward we sat on the snow and ate sandwiches and cookies and drank hot chocolate and coffee and then we took a tree to Grandma and Grant put it in the stand and we all agreed it was the prettiest tree ever and then we drove home.

Another beautiful day in paradise. Southern Oregon, my home.
