Okay, this is the finished product and a few pics along the way. Kevin had to take some off of the trunk to get it into the tree stand and snipped a bit off of the top.
Notice Gracie is helping.

Hummingbird Hill is the name of my farm. I moved here in July of 2007 to get away from the burbs. Coming with me were my husband Kevin, one dog Spot, one cat Casper and three horses, Spunky, Whinnie and Wizard. We have since acquired three more dogs, Elvis, Graceland and Skippy, a Percheron named Buck, another cat, Colonel Parker and currently twenty three alpacas. Hummingbird Hill gets its name from the large population of Hummers that moves in each spring.
About Me
- CharlesCityCat
- I live on a 30 acre hobby farm with 4 horses, 3 dogs and 2 cats. We call the farm Hummingbird Hill because in the summer, we are inundated with the little buggers. I work full-time in an OB/GYN office which drives me crazy. Would love to work part-time so I could enjoy my horses more, but hey, gotta pay for their chubby butts.
Oh, what a gorgeous tree!
ReplyDeleteHa, I am sooo first:)
Thanks, CCC. My Christmas fire is starting to kindle:)
GL, while you were being first over here, I was first on JR's latest topic. HAAA, my plan worked!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I love a great tree. The lights are new, they are the new LED ones so will take some getting used to. Not quite the same as the old ones. I am a bit worried that an airplane might try to land in my living room though. LOL!
Perfect! I love it . Mine might be up by next weekend...I hope
ReplyDeletesneaky smarmy wench...
ReplyDeletehumpfh.
I be first again, somewhere, SOON.
I'll take a picture of my dried up stick tree for ya.
That'll inspire me to decorate it:)
Gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteIt's perfect!!!! I love it!!!! Now you need victorian tinsel!!
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies, I wish we could have put it up in all of it's splendor, no trimming involved, but it would have been moved out more to the center of the room and would of been a bit in the way of several things, LOL.
ReplyDeleteI do not love the angle topper that Kevin had, but it is his year.
NCC, what is Victorian tinsel? I need pics girl!
I used to use the gold garland stuff to finish the tree, but now I use gold bows and gold mesh ribbon instead. I like it alot, but am interested in other options.
I meant angel topper, but then again, the tree itself has a bit of a bend to it, kinda like me, just a bit bent. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI am having another battle with Google. Seems every week or so I need to reset my password. Bleech! I am trying some of the blogs I regularly read to see what gives. So far, I can post here, but not Dena or CNJ. Go figure.
ReplyDeleteMy verif was madneigh. Yep. That is what I am doing about now; madly neighing.
ReplyDeleteLuckEE, Phaedra!
ReplyDeleteI think Google is boggled.
Or it's trying to invent it's own language...
Or frickin' Windows is destroying the netz..
