Texas Chainsaw Massacre

We have a flowering pear tree in our front yard. Years ago (before we bought the house) the original owners allowed a shoot to come off of the roots (with the roots being a  real pear tree). So we have a flowering pear with the main trunk of the tree being a real pear. The problem is, the pear tree would drop it's fruit and make a mess.  So I decided to finally take the pear trunk down and leave the flowering pear (even though there is a huge whole in the middle of the tree now.

Deni came out to watch and took this action picture of me cleaning up afterwards.
