railroad restoration.

There are old train tracks right behind our house. Open our back gate of the fence, and the tracks are within ten feet. The tracks have been out of commission for several years. But at night, I sometimes hear a train whistle. I really do. P and I have scoped out the tracks from a distance several times, but the path leading there is full of briars and new tree growth. But, today, we changed that. All three of us headed out back to the tracks to do a little railroad restoration. Or should I say renovation? Either way, we cleaned them up a little bit. Just about twenty yards of track or so. We cut down baby pine trees and cleared away sticky briars. And now they're suitable for some much needed exploration by a train-loving nineteen month old.



I love this picture of P cheesin' for my camera. These are few and far between....


We had a great time down at the tracks. Call me crazy, but we also decorated one of our Christmas trees today. It's never too early to get into the Christmas spirit.
