OFF AND RUNNING

We were fairly busy Friday, Saturday and Sunday, our crew did a great job, we about doubled what was projected every day. It was pretty slow during the week, gave me time to get some decorating done. I put up my Christmas tree.....

Darrell put some lights up on the tripod.

I had saved some pumpkins for a few projects....I thought the snowman turned out cute.

And the pumpkins made to look like Christmas ornaments......

We got some taller  trees this week.......

More Nobles than we thought we were getting.

And Darrell got some flocked, we were ready for a busy weekend.

And we were busy! We sold  225 trees over the weekend! Our boys were hustling!

On Monday the Santa Anna winds were really blowing! Doug and Deidra stopped by, Doug thinks we could all sell out by  the 15th if he can't get anymore trees. We had to lay most of the trees down that were outside. 

On Tuesday the Santa Anna was blowing even harder! It blew out  two corner posts from the tent, had to call Doug to come help get them back in. Doug and Greg came to help Darrell. Gusts up to 60 miles an hour, while they were putting the posts back in a fire started not too far from us!

We didn't feel it was safe to be open, so we stayed in the RV most of the day watching news reporting of the big fire in Ventura, burning neighborhoods down. We were able to open at 4:00.

The firemen got the fire out that was near us, I don't know how they did with the awful wind, but we were grateful.
