Beware the Man with the Clippers

Since the sun still wasn't shining, it was a good day to work in the yard. I decided to use the electric hedger to trim around some bushes in the front. I have seen Phillip with a saw and didn't want to take a chance with the trimmers, so I gave him the clippers to trim a few stray branches from a big tree/bush near the back fence. This is what I ended up with:
Every single beautiful green branch is now in a pile near the road waiting for the truck to haul them away, sniff, sniff. Next time - I will give him hand shears, lol.
