This year, we decided to go back to the farmer with the small tree farm. He had a hand painted sign posted on the highway on highway 214 - XMAS Trees. We drove up and knocked on the farmhouse door. Although we could see him in the house, he didn't get up to answer. We turned to leave and saw a jar on the porch railing with an envelope inside that read, "Christmas Trees - $15, leave money in jar". On the porch chair there was a saw and axe.
After walking up and down the rows for 30 minutes, we decided on a 10 foot tree and the grandkids found a 14 foot tree.
We enjoyed decorating the tree the next day. One day later I heard a crash in the living room! Apparently the tree was too big for the stand. What a mess! Ken bought a larger tree stand and we started decorating round two (minus the ornaments that had broken in the fall.) Ken bought a beautifull angel for the top.
