The first full tree weekend of 2007 has come and gone. The first day was hectic, as usual, but dry. Sunday was wet and rather miserable. The people still came out, though. I guess when it's tree day, you come and get your tree no matter the weather. Kim and Harry and family were down over the weekend to ride Thomas the Train in Strasburg, PA.
Adding to the craziness of the tree weekend was the hardwood floor project that we had going on. We got up early both tree days and put fresh tung oil on the new floors before going to the trees. The tung oil was so smelly! I don't think I was even thinking properly all weekend because of those fumes! We spent the night at dad's the first night that we had tung oiled. I believe it was Thursday night.
In the slide show above, you can see Sparky sporting his new shoes. We got them not only to protect the new hardwood floors from Sparky's nails, but to muffle the noise while Sparky is doing his pacing throughout the house. He wore them for about a half an hour and then took them off. They did look rather fancy while he was wearing them.
