A busy day!

Right after breakfast we made a recycling run with the Blazer, since we don't have the van to store it in anymore we will be making a trip every week.  It was actually easier to only have to unload three sacks.  A little later we went out and did two trailers loads of branches from the trails.  When we finished that I remembered one propane tank in the motor home was empty so we went to 4 Corners to get it filled, while I was doing that Vera picked out some red geraniums for the plant stand.  We repotted them and put the stand by the heat pump.  I made a trip around spraying weeds this afternoon, this is the second time and there are not many left.
We noticed the rhubarb really looked healthy this year, Vera asked me if I wanted a rhubarb treat, silly question of course I did!
I heard the chainsaws running so I picked up the camera and went out to see what was going on.  There was Parker and Rielee working on the tree.  Rielee was cutting up limbs and loading them in the trailer while Parker cut up the tree.
When she got the trailer full, she took them to the burn pile and unloaded.
Parker cut the tree down to sizes he could pick up with the bucket and hauled them to Steve's.
I wandered around taking pictures of the different plants that are in bloom.  I got under the crabapple tree and shot up at these blossoms.
My favorite rhododendron is in bloom and I try to get a picture of it every year.
This is the first rhododendron to bloom for us this year, they are sure a lot later than normal.
As I was walking by I noticed the Salal blossoms, they are kind of pretty.
Vera went out and took some pictures of the area North of the house after we noticed it had lots of color.
That is where I left the loppers, I picked up the branches I had trimmed, took them to the burn pile and came back a different way.  At various times today I got the battery hatch hold down on the P-39 figured out and installed.  I also got in a flight on the hexacopter and played around blowing stuff off the house roof with it.
