on my bucket list for this year were a few visits to christmas tree farms in the area. as a life-long southerner and sufferer of the fake christmas tree, this year's festive experiences as the seasons have transitioned have been extra special, and i'm so grateful we've been able to make these memories!

our car is caked with mud from repeated treks around the farms, and stops at the dog park with miss octavia. she's been such a little trooper trucking along with us, greeting everyone she sees with some nubbin-wiggling, until she encountered her first tree shaker machine - she's definitely not a fan.

machinery aside, we've gotten so much joy out of bundling up ourselves and the pup, and being able to walk these properties, basking in the scent of fresh wreaths, garland and of course - trees on trees on trees.

christmas trees to check:
