I don't know why beavers left it in peace after putting in so much work. Beaver teeth marks are about two years old. The tree fell down in the last few days, probably during a storm.
Oops.
No, she's not responsible for this. We expected this tree would fall much earlier.

A boomer delivered some firewood to our neighbour today. She's lucky it wasn't a nuke (though a nuke powered heater could keep her warm till the end of her life).
The good thing is that our power line survived. We're at the very end of a long stretch of wires , so we're the last to get repaired.
Today we had many short power breaks, none of them longer than 10 minutes, but they made work hell. Sorry if I didn't reply to your message. Living on the edge, I don't have a UPS, the battery in my laptop is dead, and I'm too lazy to drag the generator out of its lair. Those breaks meant that the power company was still cleaning up after a 12 hour outage a few days ago, caused by storms. Back then we had a very romantic evening, with cooking by candlelight.
#IdąPsięta, guardians of the half-empty ditch. Despite recent rains the water level here is still quite low. I probably should measure the level regularly, but getting here requires a lot of effort.
Osobom, które myślą o odwiedzeniu #Polesia, przypominamy, że w tutejszym powietrzu jest tylko niecałe 21% tlenu, a za to prawie 1% argonu. Uważajcie na siebie.
If I finally have some spare cash I'll fit our small part of #wetlands with so many sensors that no drop of rain will go unnoticed.
Life finds a way. Unless you're a horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) in the forests of Poland and the horse chestnut leaf borer (Cameraria orhidella) kills you.
