Bruce Reigns Terror on Pine Tree One’s Stump with Tractor

May 12, 2026

In the morning of April 30, Bruce continued his reign of destruction on Pine Tree One’s stump.

He needed to remove logs from around the stump to reach it from a different angle.

After watching Bruce for a bit, I went to check on the garden. I watered to soften up the clay layer, allowing seeds to sprout.

Here’s the bucket brigade. I planted pepper and eggplant seedlings in 5-gallon buckets on April 29.

On the way inside, I took a few pictures.

On the patio, I viewed my collection of semi-tropical plants.

After we got back from my pre-op appointment, Bruce did a lot more backhoe work on the stump with his red minion. The result was impressive!

What a hole! Oh wait, was Pine Tree One making a last-ditch effort to protect itself from Bruce and the red minion with a moat?

The plum trees have tiny leaves now.

The sunset was a western glow.

We sat on the front porch, watching the fireflies and the sunset.
