Last year the beavers took a lot of trees from my back property, and I openly worried about what I call "my Christmas tree"... a beech sapling that holds its golden leaves in autumn far beyond the other trees. Its leaves are curved and balanced in such a way it looks (to me, anyway) like a golden Christmas tree.
One afternoon in late October 2010, I looked out the window and saw Bob installing a protective fence around that sapling, to protect it from the varmints.
Late yesterday afternoon of this October 2011, I took a photo of that little sapling (left foreground of this photo). It has grown a lot since last October; thanks to my husband, who knows his effort to protect the tree impressed me! Better than diamonds and candlelight!
