This afternoon the clouds opened over my part of the valley and let the sun shine. Yay!
I wandered around the south pasture to check it out as I hadn't been there from the time before I went to North Dakota. I checked out my large cottonwood trees to make sure no beavers had returned to gnaw on them. They are fine.
I have two tree stumps in the south pasture to dig for burning in bonfires next year. Today I dug around one stump. I even dug out part of the stump.
Photo 1 was taken after I pulled the stump from the remaining dirt, but not from the hole.
Photo 2 was after I removed the stump from the hole.
Like pulling teeth!
Since the dirt has some moisture in it and is soft I finished digging around the rest of the stump. I forgot to take a photo of the end result, though you can see part of the stump in the left side of the above photos.
So... another stump ready for a bonfire next year when Tammy returns for a visit.
Btw - my shovel has a fiberglass handle. I thought the fiberglass was suppose to be good for life and would not break. Today the handle is starting to crack and bend. What's up with that?!
