[AT] OT Christmas trees

[Rob Gray]

Around these parts there are several tree farms. I think the best 
species for a Christmas tree is a Douglas Fir. They have the smell of 
Christmas. Can't beat it.

Tractor reference: I was out with the Ford yesterday pulling more trees 
from the woods for some additional late firewood to add to the supply. 
Once the deep snow arrives it is difficult to get any more firewood for 
the winter. I always get some additional wood late just to be sure I 
have enough. Yesterday I got quite a few good Sasafras trees for the 
stove....
