Once upon a time, there was a tree, and then there was a stump of a tree, and then there was an angel! Located at the main entrance of the Pleasant Acres Nursing Home, this angel keeps watch over everyone who comes and goes into the hospital.

This angel has special meaning to me as it made its appearance about 300 feet from my parents' front door. My dad watched in admiration as this angel made her appearance and proudly took me to see the finished sculpture a few weeks before he passed away.
From the York Daily Record, May 30, 2014:
"An angel tree at Pleasant Acres, a place that suggests peace and tranquility. That's about right. A white pine chainsawed into an angel now greets you at the entrance of Pleasant Acres Nursing Home in Springettsbury Township. This is another example of chainsaw art that is going up all over York County. For some years, colorful murals were going up everywhere. Then the well-crafted sculptures of Lorann Jacobs. Now, chainsaw art, shaped by Brad Heilman, left, and other artists. So YorkTownSquare, with a soft spot for artists shaping the quality of life around York County, features this photo today. And the photo at bottom, too. It's the tree before the chainsaw was applied." (
