Interesting. I have always considered that real trees were stronger. I prefer real trees, but have had to settle for artificial trees for years. We're hoping this one lasts longer than the three years of our previous tree. That, however, wasn't because of the tree itself, but rather the fact that Simon chewed through the lights at the bottom. We'll be sure to spray the wires with apple bitter every few weeks this year.Hi there Brent. I can't imagine running in the wind. I have done it some in my younger days playing football, but I was more concerned where the ball was than the wind blowing in my direction...
Have fun with your tree. We use artificial ones here for two reasons. The first obvious is that they last longer and the second is that many of my ornaments are too heavy for regular tree limbs, but hold up nicely on thick wire covered in green.
Have a nice day and a better week...

The wind was a little bad. I've had it worse. I think it really only hit about 10mph during the race. I would have been the same for football. It was very similar playing Ultimate. It's tough to throw anything in the wind, but a Frisbee can be super tough...
Yesterday I the kids and I made cut out sugar cookies using Halloween and fall themed cookie cutters. I am thinking I should have made a double batch LOL as they are going very quickly. We got our Thanksgiving turkey over the weekend so that is one more thing checked off the shopping list.
