Another tree stump dig

Last Fall I started digging around another tree stump.  The ground was dry and hard and the digging slow so I didn't finish.  This Spring the ground is moist and soft and the digging is easier.  I finished digging around this tree stump for later burning. 

The stump is much larger than the tiny bit that was above ground, and larger than it looks like in the photos.  There is no tap root.  Instead the stump is shaped like a spider with large roots that go out sideways.  I took an axe to some smaller side roots so I could have easier access to digging under the root.

We'll have a massive bonfire later this year to burn up the stump.
