Cut down the tallest tree in the forest, with …a herring

Today’s mission was to get a christmas tree from Drysdales. In typical Allaen weekend fashion we started the quest a little later in the afternoon than we would have liked… but after everything was gathered we ventured to Alliston. It was pretty busy. Busy enough to require a cop to direct traffic in and out of the farm. B. had a plan on how she wanted things to unfold, but regrettably time (and more importantly light) was limited so we found the earliest tractor drawn ride we could and were brought to the tree chopping fields. Trees aplenty. Everywhere trees.. in various stages of development. So we started to look for ours.

Not having been before I didn’t really have any basis for comparison… but b. felt most that we came across we far too small. 😦 We searched for some time not finding our glorious tannenbaum and light was starting to fade from the sky. Gah! Then (insert angels singing) it appeared in the last row (it really was the final row of trees)… I called over to B. to take a look… she wasn’t impressed at first and we compared it to a few earlier found hopefuls and decided it was the one. So we sawed it down (which was a little harder than i thought seeing that it was getting dark) but finally down it came. We dragged it back then waited and waited for a tractor to take us back. I’m pretty sure we caught the Last Train to Clarkston. Once we were back ‘the main farm store area?’ the workers baled the tree and put a hole in bottom for the stand. It was a curious process. I took a few photos which I’ll post shortly. The tree fit in the car and off to Brampton we went.

In transit we realised that it was out 8th month anniversary together. 🙂 We celebrated over onion rings and burgers from Sonny’s. Yum. We watched a bit of LOTR:FOTR then crashed. Phew. ZzZzz….!
