Time to cut the perfect tree for the Iron Mountain Inn's front window, you see
Off to the mountaintop and Wintergreen Farm we go
The road winds round up to the top
And there are the trees...all covered with snow!
The day was coming to close so it was a search in a hurry
But just enough daylight to help in our search
From tree to tree we hurried, first this one's perfect, but no, that one's better. Oh dear, which one did we choose....they all seem so perfect!
Dad was our measuring rod - 7-8' would be perfect, that's him plus his arm raised high
After circling the trees and finding no faults, we picked the perfect tree to load on our car.
Simon came with the saw and the stick (to raise the lower branches while Todd did the work)
Another family also had chosen their tree, so both were loaded onto the wagon to be taken and shaken so no snow came home too
Bottom first the trees were loaded into the wrapping machine, then lifted and hefted onto the car.
A few more errands and then home to the Inn where the tree will stand in the window for all to see
As we celebrate this holiday and the start of another year.
Come share the magic of the mountains with us in December, mention this blog and take 15% off your stay.
