There is nothing like driving 5 miles down the road to a beautiful tree farm to choose my holiday tree. My friend Kevin and I went to get trees yesterday. What fun! It definitely put me in the holiday spirit. As we drove home with our beautiful trees, I realized that not everyone drives the 5 miles from their home to a tree farm that is pristinely taken care of by a wonderful friend, Ward Simonton. I love living rural and having the opportunity to enjoy the seasons, forest, weather and simple things in life.
There are so many things to be grateful for this year. I am grateful for a new president, my home, my job, my friends and the wonderful snow on the ground.
I encourage you to take a moment, look at all your blessings, and tell someone why you love and appreciate them.
What are you grateful for this year? Have a wonderful holiday season. Remember it is the quality of time spent by loved ones, not the quanity spent on loved ones.
Love, Jen
Hi Shelley,
Thank you for leaving a message. Ward and Nancy Simonton have a lovely tree farm about 20 minutes from the Red Jacket. I highly recommend them for your tree choosing. They offer hot chocolate and such in addition to tree picking. They can be reached at simonton@pivot.net. Be sure to tell them how you found them.
Thanks! Have a wonderful time. Who knows, we may run into each other picking out trees!!!
Jen
