Christmas tree gets last laugh at our expense


Today we took down the tree. It was, as I've discussed previously, a monstrous thing and required a new expensive stand for huge stems. To keep the tree green, we needed to water it a couple of times a day but the density of the branches and the obtuse nature of the water reservoir seems to have resulted in a surprise wet spot on our wool carpet that has begun to mold!. Three hours later, we have the carpet rolled up in the garage awaiting the cleaners.
