Feeling Stumped

IMG_0214


The assumption was the tree would be removed with a stump remaining at the ground.

Me being me and probably the most stubborn person in the world I asked for as much of a stump to be left as possible.

I am so happy that not only was the stump not taken to the ground but it was left at about 10 feet tall.  You can see it from the street.  And rightfully so. Such a beautiful stump it is in its testimonial to the life it once supported.

 

Speaking of life, I think a vine growing up and around the stump would be wonderful don't you think?  And I am loving these potted plants and birdhouse perched on top.  I can see this view from Daisy Cottage's living room window and that makes me happy too.

I really know what it feels like to be a tree hugger now.  I want to hug this stump and squeeze it tight.  I am just so grateful that it is still in sight.

I think a vine is a WONDERFUL idea!! The birds will love the shelter! :)

Oh a vine would be fantastic! And I like what you've done with it already. (I'm not a tree hugger. That I can even see what you envision is evidence of my growth. ☺ )

How smart of you to have them leave a tall stump. Topping it with pretty things looks so nice from the street and your window. You are one smart cookie! I would also like the extra light in the room. You will probably see an assortment of critters playing and sitting on your treasured stump!

Well...I drove by today and it looks marvelous. Love your birdhouse and flowers. It's the nicest stump I have ever seen!

Great idea....love it already.....glad you have kept a reminder of your great old tree.

What a grand old stump it is! A flowering vine would be lovely. The potted plants and birdhouse are so cheerful. What is the one with the beautiful red trumpet-shaped flowers?

That's great you were able to save so much of that beautiful old stump! I can see it now..flags waving on the 4th of July,pumpkins on top in the fall, and something special at Christmas. The decorating ideas are endless, especially with a creative person like you!

Oh I'm glad to see the tree stump still giving joy! I think a flowering vine is a great idea. xo ;)

It's the Giving Tree and you saved it! Love your ideas.

It is beautiful and still strong and present with you.

M

it's the most beautiful stump I've ever seen...and a vine wrapped around it would finish if off just perfectly. How long did it take you to get those pots and the house up there???? :)xxx
