Ron was not up to helping with the tree, so:

I cut off enough of the double trunk with a hand saw to fit it into the tree stand.

It took a while to get it even moderately secure and unfortunately, I couldn’t fit the trunks, the water dish and the three “feet” in the stand ring. So I left off the water dish; fingers crossed the tree doesn’t dry out too fast.

It’s a small tree but it had room for two sets of lights as well as three wooden garlands. I worked the rest of the afternoon on hanging the ornaments.

Ron did a shop since just about everything will be closed tomorrow.
