Went for our Christmas tree today. Although the weather was bleak, we had fun.
This year we went to a new place.
After scouring every field, we finally agreed on a Frasier Fir. She is a beauty!
We had it bailed and put on the car, then wandered in to the barn. My son and his wife found a beautiful tree inside. The barn was interesting. Mr. Kody told us it had been built in 1947 by his father without any drawings. Just built it as he went.
Needless to say it has stood the test of time and is still standing as well as housing these trees for sale. It was a magnificent barn.
The whole day was fun filled and productive. Family time spent well with my husband, son, and my other son and his wife, oh yes and their dog Fred.

How fun that would be. The photos are fantastic. I’ve never seen a place where you could go and cut your own down. My Grandfather and I would go up in the Sierra’s when I was growing up in Carson City. It was fun. Looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing this
