Capitol Christmas Tree

If you'd like to follow the installation of the U.S. Capitol Christmas tree, check out this site where pictures are being posted throughout the procedure.

The tree is in the ground and it is being "trimmed" by the Capitol arborists. Lots of smaller trees are being delivered to Capitol offices.

The tree is a gift from Arizona, and it is an 85-foot blue spruce from the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests.

The President and the first lady will help light the tree at 5 p.m. on Thursday.

About Susan Reimer

Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
