Saving Nature and the Chestnut Tree
There is a great child-hood family story about my husband getting very upset about his father pouring tadpoles back into a stream. Apparently hubby was "saving nature" and he has been teased about it ever since.
So he's as much a sucker for a straggly little lost soul as I am, which is how we ended up with our cat Peaches (and her son Oscar).
The other day he was working in a friend's basement where he found this little tiny Chestnut Tree growing right out of a conker in the dark basement.
Unfortunately the little guy didn't make it once given sun, and food and water (go figure)! So I killed nature... I'm hopping to save some conkers this christmas and see if we can get one to actually grow!
