III. ADVENT.

It's unlikely that there will be snow in time for a White Christmas, at least on current weather forecasts.  The houses near Cold Spring Shops headquarters are pretty blinged out this year.


After two different Japanese maples failed to make it through a polar vortex, I put in a dwarf Alberta spruce that I hope is a sturdy kind of tree that doesn't mind the snow.  Here's a household hint for any readers with small children: if space permits, as each one becomes old enough to grasp the concept of Christmas and a Christmas tree, plant a small tree like this and see whether the child or the tree gets taller faster.  At maturity the tree will be taller than most humans.
