WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE FOREST?
Christmas tree time; Picked my balsam fir up at Bell’s Christmas Tree Farm near Accord, Ulster County. The Bell Family spends all year growing them, and on the day of your cutting, will shake it free of debris & bundle it for the ride home. They also have a store with a wood-stove going and hot chocolate; Kids love it. Seems others do too. I never seen people tail-gating before at a Christmas tree farm like it was Giant Stadium. Good times.
May the forest be with you,
