Stump Removal

The large tree in front of my home was cut down before Christmas. The City came by today to remove the stump. It was a fascinating piece of equipment to watch. There is now just a flat barren spot where the tree used to be. Those boys left things …

-5C and light Flurries

This is what it looks like out my front door here in the Kings town. I hate the winter and I pray those USA RB’s let me back in on Saturday. Al says it should be in the 70’s F on Saturday in Palm Coast.  (Continued…)

Dog Love
