A little tip for those not used to viewing online videos, wait till its fully loaded before pressing play, it will help with the playback interruption. Also, to make the video larger, you can press the button of the 4 arrows pointing in opposite directions, when you mouse over it it will say full screen. Warning though, sometimes the video will look less clear when enlarged.
As a tail on this post I will tell you that we've been in full swing preparing for the holidays here, lots of crafts and whatnot are being made and hung and its starting to look quite festive! Today we drove out into the woods to find ourselves a tree to bring home, funny how naive I was thinking we could just dig one up with no problems lol. We discovered that the root systems of a tree the height we wanted were long and thick, and in this particular location the trees were growing up through about 2 feet of rocks. We managed to clear away most of the ones around the base with our hands but saw that we would have to spend all day moving rocks and digging before that little tree was going anywhere. Interestingly while we were digging around the tree we noticed the scent of it was unlike normal "christmas trees", these had a delightful fruity smell to them. We gave up on that location and are going to try again tomorrow to find a similar tree growing in more of a soil sub strait. In more accessible news, there are holly trees growing all over the place here and I plan to make some wreathes from it. I'll be getting up some photos soon of all the crafts and decorations happening around here so check back.
