Yesterday, C and I braved the winter weather and drove to the U-cut Christmas tree farm. It was only 73 when we left the house but it warmed to 76 while we were there. :) The tree farm is about an hour north of us, almost to the state line. We tooled around on back roads to get there and once there, we picked a lovely tree that was way too big and way too expensive. The owner marked it to half price and we cut it down and brought it home. We ended up cutting another 12 inches off of the bottom and then trimmed a little off the top. We've named it Fonzie. I know normal people don't name their Christmas trees, but I never claimed to be normal. We have a legendary tree named Helga in our memories. Helps us keep things straight I guess. C and I got the tree in his stand and put the lights on before DH came home from work. Then we decorated when the whole family was here. It was a lovely day!
And now it's 22 degrees. Cold front hit about 8:45 last night. Hit us like a freight train. The wind came up so quick that it turned on both neighbor's motion sensor lights and they blinked on and off for the rest of the evening. It dropped 20 degrees in 30 minutes. Crazy Texas!
love,
Deb
