    The kids needed a backstop for their pasture baseball field so I came up with this. This is part of the big hackberry that fell close to here a few weeks ago. I topped it off with a little 1 year old white oak. May expand this more but it helps a lot already

    Nothing redneck about that! Looks quite natural.

    Seeing this reminds me of the neighborhood softball games from my childhood...good times. :)

    Edit: We didn't have a backstop though.

    Ooooo I remember the posterior chewing when my cousins and I used the metal siding on the house for a backstop for baseball games. Looked like a magnified picture of a golf ball with all the dents. Then my aunt put a dent in our backsides.:picard:
