I think the decent ones at Home Depot are over $100!

DW & I cut our own at a tree farm for years, but for some reason she's going to the Boy Scout lot these days
When we mover here in '73, we bought a live pine. When Christmas was over, I put it into the cool basement 'til the ground thawed enough to get a shovel in the ground...along about April! Never did anything when I planted it except give it a good drink. It's has to be a good 60' tall now!

How's the gobbler of all things good doing this morning?

All good here, thanks.

be careful not to get one full of praying mantis eggs. Did you see that story??

Did I ever tell the story of the time that I put a bunch of mantis egg cases behind the radiator in our bathroom ? My mother was not happy.

Do some cooking, Sour - that may cheer you up

You know me, don't you. I'm going to make a big pot of beef paprikas. Between that and tree decorating the day will fly by. Of course I'll have to spend a bit of time as Pond Uncle.

I'm pretty sure the drivers around here are hitting the panic button about now. They'll empty the grocery shelves of milk & toilet paper, buy expensive generators, and buy all snow shovels in sight. It's actually hilarious! They get in their yuppie vehicles & head for the nearest ditch, to make sure they get a good spot. You'd swear they'd never seen snow before; have not the foggiest clue of how to drive in it. They're either crawling along at the rate of 2 miles/every 3 weeks, or trying to beat the land speed record.
Unreal!

Same here! I'm with ya.

It's frickin cold, but full of pork pies and gin, so I'm good

At least they make good entertainment.

That's as bad as when I brought the Science class's mice home for the summer, & housed them in one of my sisters' old wooden doll houses. Dad wasn't a happy camper when he found technicolor mice all over the house!

Always knew that Tesla/Edison competition would go bad....

I know..... My fault.
