Stump art remembered

Hey! let's get this blog goin' again. This is the ode to stump art. We went tot the cabin for a long overdue time away from jobs and the city, over the extended Memorial Day week.
We discovered the stump that had a beautiful collage of sculptural gems and treasures had somehow burned and split down the middle and all the towering delight was on the ground. It is ok though because -change is good and this somehow represents a new beginning for all of us.
So here is to the re beginnings made from fond memories.

2008-2009
