One thing that had to go was a tree stump that had been in the way in the back garden for almost 20 years.

Here is a photo of me with the saw after cutting it down, it took 2 whole hours to cut that stump off!!
It was petrified!! The tree had been hit by lightning and that is what killed it.

For a few years it had served as a the base for a scarecrow in the vegetable garden.

This last spring I planted some Morning gloriy seeds at the base of the stump and it looked pretty festive with flowers in it's hair for it's last photo with it's face on.

The day after putting the face on the pine tree, I was on the phone to my daughter, and I was telling her about moving the face, she said to take a picture for her, I got the camera out, and I noticed... his nose was now running!!
