Pink = gotta go!

We have 100 pink flags around the property. They look like this...
These flags indicate stumps, and stumps in a pasture are a nuisance. The stumps were left behind when a previous owner of this land sold all the best trees as timber. They prevent Dan from brush hogging or mowing the pasture to make way for large animals, like our future cows and sheep. So, the stumps have got to go. Danny has been going around the stumps prepping them for removal; clearing small trees, thorns, etc. Then he places a flag on them to indicate they're ready to be removed. So far, Danny's placed 100 flags, which also happens to be all the flags we have. Unfortunately, we have at least 1000 more stumps to go. Maybe. I don't really know. I just pulled that number out of my head. But I do know we have a lot more to go. And when I say 'we' I mean 'Dan'. Regardless, Dan ordered 200 more flags so they can keep prepping since it takes longer to actually remove the stump than it does to prep for it. Maybe the new flags will be a different color so we can have a lovely rainbow of colors on the hillside. Wouldn't that be nice?
