Our First Norway Spruce
December 5, 2011 - This past weekend, we drove out to the Middleburg Christmas Tree Farm and took home our first Norway Spruce.
It has beautiful strong branches and soft needles. Not too fragrant though. Guess you can’t have everything.

And they will make a fire and pour...
