The Stump Saga


OK, this is going to be a different post than normal.  I call it "The Stump Saga"  It is the story of the Ash tree, that was lost to the emerald ash borer, stump removal, in pictures.  By Hand (UGG!  What was I thinking?). By me, mostly, there was some help from a couple of neighbors.

I do not have a perfect picture of that tree before it got that borer, but here are some shots to try to show the size it got to before it had to be taken down.

   
Great winter shot by Dawn.
   
A  little blurry, but that is the tree in winter.

Woodpecker (I think) on the trunk.


Communication wires go close.
