What would you do with a huge tree stump and lots of pots…?
Location: 44th Avenue South and 36th Street
I love the uniqueness of the neighborhood and the fun decor you see inn the yards. This caught my eye with all the flower pots, some hand painted.

Decoration Day
Sleep, comrades, sleep and rest
On this Field of the Grounded Arms,
Where foes no more molest,
Nor sentry’s shot alarms!
Ye have slept on the ground before,
And started to your feet
At the cannon’s sudden roar,
Or the drum’s redoubling beat.
But in this camp of Death
No sound your slumber breaks;
Here is no fevered breath,
No wound that bleeds and aches.
All is repose and peace,
Untrampled lies the sod;
The shouts of battle cease,
It is the Truce of God!
Rest, comrades, rest and sleep!
The thoughts of men shall be
As sentinels to keep
Your rest from danger free.
Your silent tents of green
We deck with fragrant flowers
Yours has the suffering been,
The memory shall be ours.
— Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Love this time of year seeing so many people out working in their yards. Each yard in Longfellow is so unique with all different kinds of landscaping, flowers, trees and shrubs. Such a wonderful place to just wander around!
