Birdhouse On A Stump

Birdhouse sitting on a decaying tree stump.
 
For the better part of a year I have been working hard at turning our field, the perimeter of which was overgrown with weeds and brush, into something that resembles a park. Slowly, but surely, it's getting there!

I started off by clearing out the old fence row that paralleled the road, then burning the six huge brush piles that were left over from the task. Next, I began cutting the brush and trimming the trees along the creek bank on the other side of the field and hauling the brush and tree limbs to a new pile in the center of it. To quote the great Yogi Berra, it was déjà vu all over again!

After working along the creek bank for a couple of days, I decided to take a break from that task and clear out a small island of weeds and thick brush that sat out in the middle of the field, spoiling the view. After I had removed all the weeds and brush, I was left with several large and very pretty rocks - and one tree stump in an advanced state of decay! At first I wanted to take out the stump, but after consulting with Cheria we decided to leave it and place a birdhouse on it...and the result is the "Picture Of The Day"!
