Clearing the Paddock

Leave a comment

As you saw in my post “Crash” on Thursday, we lost a large branch off our poinciana tree.  Today, The Duke dusted off the chainsaw and set to work.

It didn’t take too long and I helped move a lot of the smaller branches.  We threw them back over the fence into our yard and hope to get them mulched, along with the rest of the tree when it is lopped.

2012-07-01 01There was only one log we could not get back over the fence so we moved it so it was close to the fence and out of the way.

2012-07-01 02The neighbour’s ‘paddock’ is looking much better and you would hardly know anything had happened.

The Sun Rose Today

3 Comments

Despite all of the gloomy predictions about the impact of the carbon tax which begins today, the sun still rose  and life goes on.

The aim of this tax is to move Australia towards a more sustainable future and I support that wholeheartedly.

I have previously written about this topic and  my original post is here and Part 2 here.  I also wrote a follow-up post 3 months later which is here.

This is a You-Tube video I found today which is well worth viewing.  This is a compliation of comments from several prominent Australians.  Check the associated videos of the individuals speaking in more detail about their support of tackling Climate Change.
