I’m going to cancel my Arbor Day Foundation membership because I hate trees. Okay, I don’t hate trees, but I hate the osage-orange roots that crisscross the only spot in my yard that works for a bird pond.

It doesn’t look like I did much, but I dug from 1630h until about 1845h. I’m making progress, but if those goddamned roots weren’t there, I’d be nearly done already.

In one spot, I’ve got just a few inches to go. I had P stand there for scale.

Stupid huge roots. IDGAF if the tree croaks, either…just fewer giant green brains dropping on my car and all over the yard. I might use some to make a trellis for honeyvine, though.
