Working outside in beautiful weather

I woke up feeling great today after the first night in bed for quite a while.  I had been sleeping in my chair because I was having trouble breathing lying down.  Once it warmed up a little I mixed up a couple of gallons of weed spray and sprayed the dandelions.  It was so nice we had lunch out on the deck.

My next project was cleaning up the dogwood tree top that the snow had knocked down.  Dogwood branches are terrible to work with, they have limbs going in all kinds of crazy patterns.

This is how it looked after hauling off a couple of loads of debris.  I also cleaned up a couple of other trails that just had a few branches on them.

I have been working on the P-40 when I felt good.  Some nights I would just look at it and head back in.  Yesterday it got the wing mounted and the fairing installed.  The canopy is not glued on yet but I wanted a picture of it sitting on it's wheels for the first time so I packed it outside and took a few pictures.  My treat tonight was ice cream with rhubarb topping.  Vera picked a stock of rhubarb and boiled it down into a syrup to pour over the ice cream.  Boy was it good and it was gone before I thought about taking a picture of it.  Two more doses of antibiotics and I am done with that.  It sure has got me feeling good again.  Two firsts today, when we went down to get the ice cream I had to turn the air conditioner on in the car.  A little later I had to set the house thermostat down to cool it off.  I am looking forward to many more days like this.
