At the eleventh hour, on a cold, blustery Christmas Eve, three of Santa's elves shuffled out to the meadow off Lane Street to decorate the lonesome pine that stands alongside the Rec Path. Every Christmas season for the past few years Lynn has made it her duty to see that that tree brightened up the spirits of the hikers and bikers that pass by. This year was no exception, and in spite of a broken foot and a bout of pneumonia, she was able to shanghai a couple of her fellow Trails Committee members to help deck the halls, etc.
Having a truck bed to stand on made it much easier to get up near the top. Wow, this tree has shot up in just a few years!
Maybe Santa will bring Lynn some casters for her cast.
ReplyDeleteThat tree sure is getting big! I'm going to be obnoxious and note that it isn't a pine.
ReplyDelete"Pine" is just being used in the generic sense.
