Thanks! With all the snow since Mulchfest weekend, there are still pnltey of Christmas trees on the streets of NYC. Now I wish I had spent a couple of hours dragging more of them over to the chipper.As for the photos: most like Muchfest are just taken with my iPhone. Occasionally I’ll pick up a stock photo, like the recent Greek coffee cup.Tanks for reading, and glad you’re enjoying One Good Deed!
