But _most_ of the time I keep trying ... every once in a while it takes way too long to try multiple times so I move along. I too was thinking of moving to another blog company (did register) but I realized I'd lose all the fine people who have begun to come and visit regularly and I now don't know who all has linked to me so I'd lose them too (sad) ... anyway, your tree sounds truly wonderful! I look forward to coming back and reading more!<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Diane (apologies for this long explanation!)DianeSchuller.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17359249391460871879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21012673.post-88167232626623804802007-12-07T16:00:00.000-05:002007-12-07T16:00:00.000-05:00This one is a Douglas Fir.

I hope it doesn't get too dry by Christmas. We got the festivities started a little early this year. :-)<BR/><BR/>Diane, do you mean you left a comment and then it got deleted or something? I wonder if it's a Blogger issue again. I've heard that some folks without Blogger/Google accounts sometimes can't leave comments at all. Sorry about that. I've considered switching to another blog service. But I don't want to start over completely...<BR/><BR/>I appreciate your comments.

We haven't done this for about 6 or 7 years yet I can vividly recall the rosy cheeks, the exhilaration, excitement, and ultimately that wonderul aroma in the house when we brought the tree indoors!<BR/><BR/>Thank you,<BR/><BR/>Diane, Sand to GlassDianeSchuller.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17359249391460871879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21012673.post-85751831787693904082007-12-05T19:09:00.000-05:002007-12-05T19:09:00.000-05:00What kind of tree is it?

Down here they don't seem to sell them, so we get Frasier firs. Some folks I know get blue spruce, and one family with a fairly large spread of land cuts a cypress. I still miss the smell of balsam...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21012673.post-57070927665891560302007-12-05T18:32:00.000-05:002007-12-05T18:32:00.000-05:00That is a wonderful tradition!
