It was a rather beautiful day in the city this past Saturday. A light breeze, a clear blue cloudless sky and cool temperatures made for a perfect xmas tree shopping day. But unlike any of the other trips I’ve been on, we decided to take this one by foot instead. About six blocks away in Hayes Valley and tucked away off off Octavia was the Delancey Street Foundation’s tree farm.   So after a quick lunch of gyros, we headed out to find our very own tree.

It took a little while to find our tree and I was a little shocked to see how much more expensive these things have become over the years. For a decent looking tree about 6′ tall cost a good $40-$50. Yikes! In the end, we picked out one of the $20 orphans that looked surprisingly nice. And with a pot of water, I’m sure she’ll be as happy as can be. Although I suppose if she hadn’t been chopped down, it would’ve worked out better but that argument is for another day. Seeing as we had walked down to the tree farm, we had to walk back but this time, with tree in hand. =)

The white apartment building behind us looks exactly like what I would expect to find in socal for some reason - Beverly Hills-ish.  But we were taking a break in Jefferson Park, just down the street from our apartment.

I’ve never had a Xmas tree in any of my apartments and am definitely glad we picked one up this year. The smell right of pine is delicious. Mmmm…
