After cutting down our tree and getting all the debris cleaned up  yesterday, we had some stiff and sore muscles this morning.  Our walk sure helped to loosen us up and get all the parts moving.

JD called last evening and said he broke a belt on his lawn mower.  He was anxious to get his lawn cut as he and his family are leaving on vacation tomorrow.  John told him he could use our old one, so this morning he unloaded the trailer, used the old mower to cut the grass around the house,  loaded it up, and hauled it to JD's house.  He then stopped at Matt's and got some logs ready to cut.

When John returned home, we tackled the problem of the tree stump.  We removed most of the rock we had around the tree and then attacked the root system and, quite a system it is.  It's going to take some thought on how to remove that stump and kill the roots so we can plant some flowers without tree shoots returning.
