In early December, the sun sets even before the sunset of the winter solstice on the 21st making the days appear even shorter than the shortest day of the year! No wonder that Christmas is all about lights and evergreens during the cold dark winter days.
We’re still fabricating more grave blankets and custom decorating many of them. In fact, I thought last week that we had plenty of spruce and pine branches to finish the season but instead we had to cut more this past week to insure a supply of blankets through the Christmas season.
Poinsettias have sold surprisingly well which I think much of the better sale is due to the high quality of the plants since we began growing our own.
The rain this past week has been no surprise as it’s been raining consistently every few to several days since the first of March!
We still have a decent selection of all Ohio grown Fraser Fir which will easily last past the New Year when the tree trunk is set in water.
Christmas was always a big baking extravaganza at our house when my grandmother (my mother’s mother) was alive in that cookies, nut rolls and poppy seed rolls would seem to breed in the oven.
I’ll be decorating my own tree soon but I think not until Christmas Eve as I’m somewhat tired after a long day at work.
Hope for snow!
Tom
