Walking The Rails Again.
I had a lot of chores and errands to do today so I decided to walk close to home, along the railroad tracks that run near my house. It was a bit windy and cold this morning but that strong April sun warmed it up quickly. The blue skies and puffy cumulus clouds made for…
Signs Of Spring, They Are There If You Look Close Enough.
It was a cold and raw day in Northeastern PA. The temperature remained in the upper 30’s. The cold temperature, leafless trees and brown lawns made it look and feel more like January than April. But it is Spring and the signs are everywhere. I took a hike through the neighborhood and in the nearby…
