After a brief (but less brief and more eventful than expected) visit to the farm, we went to a local tree farm to cut a few trees. For quite a few years we&#8217;ve gone to a farm in Cashtown, west of Gettysburg. It&#8217;s nice to go to the same place year after year but we received word from them that they were not going to be open this season. We don&#8217;t know if that&#8217;s a permanent closing or if it&#8217;s for this year only. In any case, they recommended another farm that&#8217;s actually closer, so we went there.<\/p>\n<p>We had lunch at the Ott House in Emmitsburg, as we&#8217;ve done for about four years (prior to that we&#8217;d go somewhere different every year). Mom had seen a piece in the newspaper about a church that was in bad enough shape that it couldn&#8217;t really be repaired but that is old and historic enough that it shouldn&#8217;t be torn down. Of course, if it isn&#8217;t repaired, it will come down eventually under its own weight. Anyway, we decided to try to find it and (as you&#8217;ve probably guessed by now) we did. The sun was behind the church, which made lighting difficult, and again, there were power lines to contend with, but I&#8217;m pretty happy with this shot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As mentioned in the previous post, we went to Pennsylvania to cut Christmas trees today.
