with the warmer weather came

a brief but happy time cutting up clippings from trees and shrubs. These will fuel either the wood-stove or the barbecue depending on their size.

Also cutting back the tree we butchered last year. This year we plan to butcher one more, and then next year we'll do the third and then we'll have all three reduced to stumpy French beauty.

The stumpy butchered tree produced intriguing long shoots - it's a bit like coppicing - so I used them to turn some old conifers into a rustic wicker-style screen. It worked better than I thught it would !

Pat will continue today while I am on campus and at the Student Centre.
