Bought Our Tree Today

We went to a farm that has trees today. It is a regular farm that sells tree at this time of year, not a farm that grows the trees. Coincidentally, it turns out that the man who owns the farm is the brother of the man who owns a restaurant that we really like, a restaurant that had a music festival we went to a few months ago. And the man’s father is the guy that let us use the shade from his tent at the music festival and gave us water for Fiona. Small world.

Fiona had fun trying to get the goats to talk to her or at least come closer so she could pet them. She tried talking to them, but they were not cooperating:

They also had chickens and the owner gave us some eggs that we ate for dinner tonight. YUMMY!

Fiona was intrigued by the chickens but did not want to get too close. I repeated lines from “Mr. Gumpy’s Outing” to her so she would have something familiar to associate with the chickens.

Here she is eating cheese while we wait for John to tie the tree to the roof of the car.

And stockings:

Yes, those are Stars of David. The blue decoration behind the tree is also a Chanukah decoration, dradles.

We also put our cards up. We are missing one. Fiona took it off the fridge and I cannot find it anywhere in the house :(

Last, here is Fiona reading in the car:

We did a lot of other stuff today, finished buying things for the house that we need, and I bought the NICU gifts so I can deliver them some time this week, Saturday at the latest. I’m so glad I don’t have to go to work this week. I really need the break! Happy Week to everyone!
