THE CHRISTMAS TREES HAVE ARRIVED!!

WE GOT OUR FIRST LOAD OF CHRISTMAS TREES, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, THE FIRST LOAD WAS 33  TREES. DARRELL AND I DROVE TO THE WAREHOUSE AND PICKED THEM UP AND WERE BACK AT THE LOT BY 10:30, SALVADOR AND BEAU WERE READY TO GO TO WORK!

WITH A LITTLE DIRECTION FROM DARRELL, THE BOYS STARTED PUTTING THE TREES IN THEIR STANDS,  THEY TOOK RIGHT TO THOSE TREES, WORKED EFFICIENTLY AS A TEAM, AND DARRELL COULD SEE THE 33 TREES WEREN'T GOING TO KEEP THEM BUSY LONG, SO HE WENT AFTER ANOTHER LOAD OF 55  TREES. THEY GOT THROUGH THOSE IN A HURRY TOO! THEY WERE BOTH TIRED BY THE END OF THE DAY, AND DARRELL AND  I FELT VERY FORTUNATE WE HAD FOUND SUCH GOOD HELP FOR US!!!

THIS WAS THE FIRST TREE THAT WE GOT TO SEE UNBANDED, AND THEY ARE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL TREES I HAVE EVER SEEN!! THEY DO KNOW HOW TO GROW CHRISTMAS TREES IN SALEM, OREGON. 

THE NEXT MORNING WHEN WE WENT OUT AND OPENED THE TENT, THE SMELL WAS INCREDIBLE!! IT WAS WORTH DRIVING OUT FROM SOUTH DAKOTA, JUST TO EXPERIENCE THAT SMELL!!

WE ARE  UNOFFICIALLY  OPEN IF SOMEONE WANTS A TREE EARLY,  ONLY WHEN WE ARE OUT WORKING IN THE TENT, BUT THE DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING IS THE ACTUAL OPENING DAY!!!
