temperature on Christmas Day reached 26 The adhesive(黏合剂) began to break down and the pinecones started falling all over our outside floorWe took the wreath down, planning to repair itThat spring, as my husband, Don, was working on the flower bed in front of our house, he was surprised to discover a small evergreen plantWe decided to leave it aloneThe tree kept growingWhen it got too big for the flower bed, we moved it to the back of our houseAs the tree grew, so did our family, including four grandchildrenOne day we were told that it was a pity that someday our nice tree would have to be cut down for safety reasonsWe just couldnt let that happen to our treeWe decided to move it again, this time to Sandy and her husband Joels new houseMy husband helped Joel move the tree from the holeThey were afraid they would wreck its roots, so they dug very carefullyFinally, five hours later, the tree came outThey covered the roots as best as they could and put the whole tree in Joels truckAfter an
