So what better thing to do on a beautiful spring day than... um... take down the Christmas tree?
That's right everyone, we spent the second day of spring taking down our Christmas tree. Other than it being up this late in the year (and for the record, this is THE latest it's been up) it was ahh... shall we say a tad dry. Dry and weepy... the branches were sagging like a senior home on bath day.
So keeping with our recently set tradition, we cut it up for burning... semi out of guilt for cutting it down. This way, it can bring pleasure all through out the year... the pine branches burn like crazy and make for a good fire starter. We are burning last years tree right now. Needless to say, the needles were everywhere... our floor was green... and the back hall was only flecked in green.
Today was the big flower bed/gardens clean up... 11 lawn and leaf bags later and we called it a day and not a moment too soon for all my helpers.
And lastly...
Emmah starts her chemo tomorrow... pray that it works and pray that it doesn't hit her too hard.
