| On December 9, right down the road from St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church... |
 |
| ...is Kolarik Farms. |
 |
| I'm not sure what happens here in the summer, but in the winter they are a prosperous Christmas tree farm. |
 |
| Living in an agricultural area there are many Christmas tree "vendors", but I found it rather difficult to find an actual Christmas tree farm that we could visit (did I mention that many places in Leelanau County aren't yet connected to internet?). It's WAY more fun to go to an actual Christmas tree farm that to just buy on at the side of the road :). Look how big and gorgeous their non-Christmas trees are! |
 |
| We shopped around... |
 |
| ...and after we found one they were kind enough to carry it to where they shake out all the loose needles... |
 |
| ...and wrap it up so it's easier to carry inside of our house. |
 |
| Done! |
 |
| Here's Bryan trying to figure out how to secure our Christmas tree in the trunk without bungee cords... |
 |
| ...and here I am still waiting for Bryan to secure our Christmas tree without bungee cords. It seems that many of the farms in Leelanau County have retained many of the original structures. This awesome old well and windmill are no exception. They're in pretty good condition! I wonder if the windmill still works... |
 |
| Surrounded by Kolarik Farms, there are Christmas and cherry trees as far as the eye can see. |
 |
| Finally home! Bryan is here cutting off the netting after we got it on the tree stand... |
 |
| ...adjusting it so it's not crooked... |
 |
| and voila! |
