the noble fir

for the uninitiated, this is actually not a noble fir:

it is a fraser fir. our fraser fir, i should say.

the pacific northwest christmas tree that made it home with the wheelers on saturday.

after much hunting and searching and cutting and carrying and tying and carrying and (more) cutting and carrying and sap getting all over bryan's hands, which he hates. 

but which tree sap loves him anyway.
