DEAD, DOWN & GONE

The Japanese Black Pine Tree which recently died for some unknown reason, has been removed from my property.  I tended to the deed the other day with my yard cart & prunning saw. [I hate using the chain saw.  I don't trust it ... or me.]

 All that remains is the stump in the ground.  It too will be gone shortly, as the termites & wood eating ants soon do a number on any of the stumps on my property.

The last evidence of the tree is the above photo, where it was soon burned -- being dead & dry -- in my "fire pit". 

I am working on two more trees -- much larger than the pine tree -- which will soon be meeting the same fate & the same fire pit.
