Christmas is just around the corner.  Can you believe it?  The weather still seems like fall (which is fine by me) but the Christmas season is upon us.   The wreaths and greenery are in stock and scenting the greenhouse with the lovely evergreen forest smell.   The cut trees arrived Wednesday evening and the staff are arranging them for display.   Sold the first tree yesterday to a young couple.   The trees really are nice and full and fresh.

Do you get as frustrated as I with Christmas lights?   They all worked fine last year and was carefully put in storage.  How can a light strand test good before hanging and then five minutes after hanging them up go out?    Of course it has to be the middle strand in a line!   It drives me crazy.
