Many years ago I began carving all of the Partridge in a Pear Tree figures. We lived in a home with an espaliered pear tree on the garage wall just outside the back door.
Every Christmas season I would carve a few more, and finally they were all done and hung on the branches of the pear tree.

Seven years ago we moved and we had no pear tree- so I designed a steel tree and attached it to the wall beside our front door. Today I hung the partridge figures again on their pear tree. They don't seem to mind that it is only steel.
