hamilton tree fairy?

background: kind-hearted hamilton has a free tree planting program. being treeless, we were stoked. about a month ago we applied online, someone came to check out our yard and left a note in our mailbox saying to call and tell them what kind of tree we wanted. i called but had to leave a message as the office was closed and hadn't heard anything back. it had been a couple weeks so last night when i got home and checked the mail, looked at the yard and thought, tuesday i should give them a call to see if they got my tree request.

around 9pm last night i was chatting with melissa on the phone while sitting on the front porch. i was commenting to her about the people across the street and at the park, etc. nothing was out of the ordinary with our front yard. then, around midnight, i headed upstairs to bed. as i opened the window in the bedroom, i saw this beauty:


down in our front yard! (it was darker then- i took this picture this morning). our lovely schubert chokecherry (i'm diggin the name) was definitely NOT there at 9pm but was there at midnight?? we, including our ever-perceptive guard dog, did not hear a thing! no digging, no truck, nothing! thus the only logical conclusion is that there is a hamilton tree fairy. so thank you, hamilton tree fairy!
