Dear Liza,
Well, Auntie Bridgett got home from San Diego, and Christmas got a swift kick start.
First, Bridgett and I headed off to Portland Nursery to see what sort of potted trees they have that we could use as a small, year round, living tree. I was surprised at the variety of plants they had for sale, considering it has been near freezing at night.
Annie, at the front desk, gave us advice about the best tree for our shady front patio, and we chose a small yew that has a lovely Christmas tree shape and will grow slowly. Here it is on the porch as we were in the middle of arranging things.
Once we got that set up, it was time to go and fetch the BIG tree. We drove over to our regular tree lot and found Lilly, our 2023 tree. Like all our Christmas trees, she is from Molalla, just down the road.
We brought her up over the balcony and soon she was standing by the window, just waiting to get decorated.
As you can see, Mouse approves.
Love,
Grandma Judy
Dear Liza
