Wha, you could lift anything!

We will take that stump down to the ground. The other pine tree that needs to come down is too far away to see from the gardens and just needs to come down before it falls across the bike path an kills someone. It is not actually on our property(the towns right of way), but I want it gone. They might drop it and leave it to rot, but I would rather haul it to the burn pile.

We will plant a new tree where the one pictured was lost. Now I need to figure out what kind. It don't think I would plant another pine or cedar, just not sure what I want there. I will get to our local nursery as soon as it is warmer to see what they have that excites me. Here is a picture of the site last May that shows the dead tree which is the one leaning in the middle to the right of the bench. It would have to be something that looks normal with the pitch pines. There is a fair amount of afternoon sun in that spot. Any ideas? Birch? There is a Japanese maple next to the bench. Patti
