Crop Circle!

Knoxville's First Crop Circle
As the rays of dawn streaked across the eastern ridge line, it became apparent that we had been visited by an alien being---there was a crop circle in our front yard! 


It was about 5 feet in diameter and absolutely no grass was growing inside it. 

Maybe we can get someone to come out later today to take some radiation samples.  This has got to be a first for Knoxville.


I Cannot Tell a Lie---I Chopped Down the Cherry Tree.......Or, at Least, I Paid Someone to do It
Oooops!.....mystery solved........breaking news........it seems that the yard man I hired to cut down the Weeping Cherry tree in the middle of our front yard finally got around to doing the job.  Shucks.  An alien spacecraft seems like a lot better story.

Before
Well, while I'm musing, do you remember all those hundreds of white rocks the previous home owners placed around the front yard?  I talked a neighbor into taking them off my hands.

  3. We get alot of crop circles here in the UK BUT not caused by a tree being cut down.

    Enjoy your week-end.

  4. It looks much better without the white rocks, but it's shame about the tree.

    Have a nice weekend.

  17. Hey Clint, for a few seconds you got me there... then I remembered the cherry tree in a previous post. I was guessing you might have chopped it down... and sure enough, next photo shows it's true.

    Well, it's your property, but I kinda miss the cherry tree...

    Glad you got rid of the white rocks - you lawn sure looks better without them!

    Blessings...
