Timber!

I made great headway on the RV-9 today, I had thought about going flying, but by the time the sun came out I was out of the mood and going great guns on the covering job.  After I finished the fuselage, I was headed to the shop and I saw Vera cutting back the ferns around the pond and I volunteered to do the ones on the other side.

That lead to me taking pictures of the Azalea that is in bloom.

Then I took some pictures of the ground cover at the North end of the yard.

The primroses were next!

I went over by the shop to see if I could get a better picture of the Bumble Bees in the heather.  I only took one, because they seemed to be upset with me leaning down over them.  Vera noticed one of the ground covers over there needed trimming so I got out the hedge trimmers and did it.  The battery was still going strong, so I trimmed some of the other heather and headed down one of the trails trimming the edges.  I had gone about a hundred feet when I notice a dead tree leaning over another part of the trail.  I tried pushing it over, but no luck, so I went to get the 4 wheeler.  I hooked the winch cable to it and pulled it loose from the tree it was hung up in and it fell right across the trail.  The other half of the tree was dead also, so I tried pushing it over with the 4 wheeler, but I could see the top part would land right where I was.  I moved over behind a big cedar and ran the winch line out to it.  I stood behind the tree and ran the winch.  It fell right across the trail also, but part of the tree landed right where I would have been if I had pushed it over, then it fell across the trail with the other one.  Now James has a little work to do clearing that trail.  At 6, we went down to the church and watched the youth group run a worship service, they did a great job and I really enjoyed their choice of music.  This evening, I settled into my recliner and watched 4 episodes of Wipeout and did a little reading of the latest issue of Flying Models.
