Sam, I agree! And feather trees were probably made with trees like the one in the picture in mind. They have fewer branches and farther apart, unlike any I ever saw on the American East Coast. Only once did we have a similar tree, a Douglas fir, in DC (balsam firs were my family's favorite).
Carol, thank you so much, i shall take up your kind offer and put the poem in the comments box! Merci beaucoup (have been so busy lately, no time to think of beautiful details like this).
Friday nite...7:30...getting ready to make some more cookies. My first batch were Ischler Tortchen and I thought of you. I did take pics. So tired. Happy weekend to you. Catherine xx
Christmas Tree
What a lovely tree. It reminds me of a German Feather tree.

Is that YOUR tree?
ReplyDeleteAre you going to put up a 'winter' poem by Emily Dickinson in the comments?
Here's one I like:
Winter
by Emily Dickins
I thought I saw a snowflake fall
Down yonder by the mall
My scarf doth look a tad worn
I think I'll go buy some yarn.
Sam,
