The hay paddock is beyond all our tree plantings, so it would be further away from the house than Ninja had been before, but I knew she would enjoy the trip, and I was interested to see whether she would play with the cut grass.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sevilo.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Blog21MarNinja-in-the-hazel.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-250\" title=\"Blog21MarNinja-in-the-hazel\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sevilo.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Blog21MarNinja-in-the-hazel.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sevilo.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Blog21MarNinja-in-the-hazel.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.sevilo.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Blog21MarNinja-in-the-hazel-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sevilo.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Blog21MarNinja-in-the-hazel-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a>Past the olive trees (stopping to climb one or two of them), and into the first hazelnut plot.
