 STATE CHRISTMAS TREE

NC #5 Nature Facts

NC ranks second in the nation in number of Fraser Fir trees harvested.  NC produces more than 26% of Christmas trees in the US.  This species was designated the State Christmas tree in 2005





Feline Friday Flashback

Madi rarely bother the ornaments but my friends this Diva did love bows!!!




Last Friday, (12/6/24) Rosy, Sunny and Beth wrote on their blog that from that day forward they will be dedicating their Nature Friday's
In Memory of... Gail.  What a beautiful idea.  I, too, would like to dedicate mine to Gail and Nobby.
They were the ultimate Nature Ga(i)l and Guy

  3. Back when I was still getting real trees I don't think I ever had a fraser fir. I had cats years ago and none of them ever bothered the tree ornaments. They did love to lay underneath the tree though.

  4. The poinsettia and cyclamen look lovely. That was a very nice idea to dedicate the post in memory of Gail.

  6. The red flowers are just a delight to see. And the Christmas tree that must be shipped around the country is incredible. Precious and I have enjoyed your new header where that same picture of Angel Madie is under the tree with her packages and bow ribbons.

  7. Firs are gorgeous trees. The one in the photo is absolutely perfect.

  8. Mom used to get a real tree, but it is so much work. She's had a fake one for a long time now and it works well. The real ones are nice, though. We are still surprised that Gail is gone, we had no idea that was coming.

  13. What a beautiful tree the fir is...and it smells wonderful. In fact, I just put a frasier fir wax melt in my "melter" and can imagine myself in a forest of NC frasier firs!

  16. The Fraser Fir is such a beautiful tree, and the poinsettias are lovely. So good to see Angel Madi - she looks so pretty under the tree.

    That is such a beautiful way to honor Gail who always shared such wonderful glimpses of nature in her part of the world.

  21. The trees are so pretty! It's almost sad to cut them, although I know they are grown and harvested and replanted for that purpose.

    I don't blame Madi, I like the bows, too.

  22. The trees are so pretty! It's almost a shame to cut them, although I know they are harvested and replanted like any other crop.

    Madi, I don't blame you for liking the bows, I do, too. Thank you for linking up with Feline Friday!
