As the introduction more or less explains, yesterday's program was to take down a photinia hedge that had been left to grow for a couple of years. Being on the sunny side of the house, it was giving quite a bit of shade that in the Australian winter (that i'm currently living) was a somewhat unwanted state of affairs.

Other thing is that Photinia, apart from being a beautiful ornamental hedge plant with bright red young growth, is adored by sheep! So we got about four trailer loads of yummy evergreen leaves for them to feast on. Since the animals on the farm where this all took place are accustomed to being fed with tree fodder, it only took a couple of "maaaa's" from the first sheep to spot me, and in no time they were flocking in from all corners of the paddock.

And that's not all! The third function of the day was to provide a big load of cuttings that can be used for establishing a fast windbreak down on one of the paddocks where a new tree planting will be taking place soon.

A good productive day it was, unfortunately my camera was out of battery!
