Christmas All Year

This is our Christmas tree. We cut it the first week in Dec. We put it in a large pot and balanced it with big rocks and gravel. I took this picture in May, yes it still looks good. In fact it looked like it was starting to get new growth on it at one point.

After the holidays I just couldn't take it down. It gave us a lot of pleasure, something about it made us smile everyday. Diana Copitzky, a friend, said it always brightens her day when she sees it.

The sun has been shining for 2 weeks now. Our tree has finally started drying out, we had to turn out the lights for fear of fire. The day is coming when we will have to take it to the Christmas tree graveyard. We will remember the tree that brightened our gray rainy Washington days.
