What is fitting??

What should I write here on this particular blog space that would be fitting for the beginning of the second millennium of posting?  The one thousand and first blog post.  Here goes.  (To be sung to the tune of "The Beverly Hillbillies"):

Come listen to a story about a tree named Jed...
Poor prairie fir barely kept his big trunk fed
Then one day while he was shootin' out some branches
A voice came through the night sayin' "come and take your chances".

Flip a coin that is, go for broke, bet on it!

Well, the first thing you know, young Jed's a pine that's rare
Kinfolk said, Jed, get away from there
Said "Forest Centre Foyer's the place ya' otta be."
So he was loaded on the truck and became a ritzy tree ...

Christmas that is, twinkling lights, big red bows.

Well now its time to say hello to Jed with all his tin(sel)
And he would like to thank you folks fer kindly droppin' in.
You're all invited over to see Jed in his array
To have some fun and watch his lights, cause Jed is there to stay...

For a few weeks that is.  Set a spell.  Take yer boots off.

Y'all come over now, ya hear? 








And here are the three great folks from Val's Floral who have done Jed a great justice!  Sharon, Lawrence and Pat.  They made Jed one happy tree, not to mention all of us who work at the Forest Centre!
