Having just moved to the country four years ago, I had to deal with one too--but I call it a well cap. :) I put some driftwood on mine. Great minds think alike.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14531776890396557061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8244282360487329402.post-8457306471979744872011-10-24T10:40:54.235-04:002011-10-24T10:40:54.235-04:00Great before and afters Julie.

We had two wells on our property which we recently capped since we also have city water. Mine used to stick up like that too but they were able to cut it at ground level with the capping.<br />HeatherHeather Holmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12614164765858960174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8244282360487329402.post-24177638622571490322011-10-24T07:23:35.768-04:002011-10-24T07:23:35.768-04:00You go Ellen!

We do have a septic tank! We don't have any street lights, we have to contract for our own garbage pick up and deer roam the streets in packs .... I guess well water might be nice ... unless the pump broke.<br /><br />For oak identification, this field guide might be helpful: http://www.fs.fed.us/foresthealth/technology/pdfs/fieldguide.pdfEllen Honeycutthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00063791602271573091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8244282360487329402.post-37113802324796240622011-10-23T20:28:34.482-04:002011-10-23T20:28:34.482-04:00Are you a "city girl"? ;) A well head is...Are you a "city girl"? ;) A well head is the top of our water well. Most county and city residents here have municipal water, but we are fortunate that we have a well, good clean water.<br /><br />Actually, I haven't been able to identify the oak, it was already here when be bought the house. Strange thing is, it doesn't make any acorns. We have two others in the yard that don't either, they look to be the same kind and age, probably planted when the house was built. Makes me sad. I want acorns and so do my critters.Julie Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07971494623569371937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8244282360487329402.post-41551704052708316642011-10-23T19:41:24.161-04:002011-10-23T19:41:24.161-04:00What a great day of work - it was a beautiful day ...What a great day of work - it was a beautiful day to be outside here as well.<br /><br />I am a fan of brush piles as well and have several myself. Had some trees removed a few years ago and the crew offered to take my brush pile as well - I said don't you dare!<br /><br />I don't know what a "well head" is but you have disguised it nicely. And what a fabulous oak tree you have - what species is it, do you know?Ellen Honeycutthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00063791602271573091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8244282360487329402.post-90678403996414943122011-10-23T19:07:50.786-04:002011-10-23T19:07:50.786-04:00Woooo hoooo!

We are still learning and adding new plantings cautiously. We have high hopes for our little home habitat and want to add quality specimens as we find them and our tastes evolve. (And as we find plants that will grow on our dry hilltop...in our rock- hard soil).Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08404741005864861004noreply@blogger.com
