Not OT as we all have Mothers...........

My wife has been nagging me to take down and replace a flowering crab tree
in front of my office as a Mothers Day gift.

OK, even though she is not my mother I agreed as one does not argue with the
boss. After a couple of days of labor the old tree and stump were removed
(the stump and roots were the tough part) although I needed a bit of
persuasion from our SUV. Many more hours were spent cutting it up to
firewood size and hauling it to the back yard to age.

Her new Japanese Maple arrived today and was planted and watered.

Happy Mothers Day. This is the most effort and expense I ever put into this
holiday.

Now back to work on my boat.

PS: She will be sorry on Fathers Day. ;-)
