Our Charlie Brown Christmas tree


As promised earlier, the Clements clan went out and chopped down a tree for Christmas. We've been doing this for the past seven years or so at Pfaff's Christmas Tree Farm in Auburn, just next to the Auburn Mountainview High School.


I asked around today if they were going to go under the blade, as the land did across the street. This place has been in the tree business here for the last 22 years. Its owners assured me today that no, they weren't planning on selling out soon.


With a grin, he added that of the 400 lots platted across the street..not one had been sold.


Back to the tree search out in the back 40. We spotted a tree that caught our eye, when up above, we heard screeching. Three red tailed hawks were circling above, riding the air currents. I figured they were blessing this tree (which I'm not sure is going to fit into our living room) and probably considered Pfaff's as one of the few places left to hunt.

Yes, we did finally get this tree in the house. It takes up most of the living room and we've run out of lights, but what the heck. It's a nice fat tree.
