Guilty as Charged
As if Thanksgiving hasn't snuck up on us quickly enough, I'm already reminded of Christmas by the buzzing of helicopters overhead the last few days. It's Christmas tree harvesting time on Pete's Mountain. I hear they lay big tarps on the ground, the tree cutters load them with trees, then the helicopters pick up a whole tarp and place it directly onto a truck. Being in California for so long, I'd forgotten how all those thousands of trees show up in lots right after Thanksgiving.
