Don't know how many of you saw the story in the Seattle Times last week about the 88 foot tall Engelmann spruce cut from the Colville National Forest, but I did and took special notice. That is the very tree that, come the first week of December, I'll be be cooking nearby along with the entire proud Washington delegation at our Nation’s Capitol. Proudly referred to as "the people's tree" by Jen Knutson, the US Forest Service's Capital Christmas Tree Coordinator, the rotund evergreen will be joined by 80 other trees from Washington state and will be adorned with ornaments made by school kids from here as well. We are expecting 400 people to join us while we flip the switch and "spruce" up the Capital lawn.
