Yesterday was our day to make our annual "pilgramage" to the Dull's Tree Farm to cut our Christmas tree. I really have to take some space here and brag about this family and their business.Tom and Kerry Dull moved into this wonderful 1800's farmstead and soon after began using the soil to grow Christmas trees. Since then, they have restored a couple of log cabins to house a gift shop and crafts center as well as a wreath barn. There is a petting zoo.

TREES FOR TROOPS
This is another exciting program I must tell you about. The National Christmas Tree Association sponsored a program this year where 11,000 Christmas Trees were donated to U.S. troops and their families. Trees from tree farms across the U.S. donated these trees and Federal Express donated all shipping expenses. Our own Dull family was the Trees For Troops headquarters for the state of Indiana. For more information, go to the website for the National Christmas Tree Association.
In selecting our tree, Ed and I prefer the Fraser Fir. Since this type of tree is the only tree they don't grow, they have some brought in. We couldn't find one at six feet so we opted for the Canaan Fir that looks almost like a Fraser Fir but isn't as fragrant. When it is decorated (tonight or tomorrow?), I will post the final pics for your viewing pleasure.
I hope your holiday season has been bright thus far. If not, why not acquire "A real Dull tree for a bright Christmas?"
