Christmas in the country

I love this tree, a spruce of some kind that they told me was native to this region of the U.S. The first one I got at the annual DNR sale is barely hanging on because I failed to realize these poor things do need some sunlight.

A few years ago I planted this one back by the road, knowing it'd benefit from a long day of sun. Then my neighbor pointed out that I stuck it right beneath the electrical lines. 

Merry Christmas!
