this is Christ the King church over in Edina
we supply them with the birch and balsam and help set them up
they do a nice job and are great to work with

today was the last delivery of the season
i can hardly believe it's over
it was a good year
thank you to all who make it possible

finally the tree season has slowed down enough that i can get out for a ski and wouldn't you know it's 10 below. my theory was to wear my work clothes and they did indeed keep me warm but then i began to sweat and it felt like i was wearing a full body straight jacket.
still, it was lovely getting out in the woods. they are wonderfull anytime of year. in a few months we'll be tapping maple trees in this very spot.
